USB sticks are a powerful tool for many users to transfer and store files, and I believe DIY players have one in their hands. However, if you only use the USB disk to copy the file, it is a bit "overkill", because with the help of the usb drive's storage particles, we can also achieve some cool functions, let's introduce if the USB disk does part-time.
The system disk is in hand, and it does not cost money to install the machine
Doing the system has always been a troublesome thing, many players also have to go to the store to spend 30-100 yuan to reinstall the system, if you can have a system disk you can save the money spent each time you install the system, the requirements for the USB disk is that the capacity is above 4G and need to be formatted.
First prepare the system image, back up the important data in the USB stick and format it, and then use the USB boot disk maker to write to the USB disk, or you can use microsoft official software to write. It should be noted that the production system disk here is operated by the software, rather than simply copying the files to the USB stick.
Before installing the usb stick, press the Del key (depending on the motherboard, it may be F12 or F8 key) to enter the BIOS before the system self-test, and then there is a BOOT setting in the advanced settings of the BIOS, and the USB disk or USB device in the boot sequence can be set in the first place before the USB stick can be installed with the usb flash drive.
At the same time, it cannot be ignored that after installing the system, it is necessary to enter the BIOS to restore the boot sequence to the previous order, so as not to enter the USB stick installation system interface again.
ReadyBoost optimization, the old computer is not worried
If you are using a very old notebook, or the computer performance is very poor, and the reinstallation system is Vista, Windows 8 or Windows 10, you can use the System's Own ReadyBoost function to accelerate the computer, the requirement for the USB disk is to have USB 3.0 speed or label support ReadyBoost.
After installing the USB stick, right-click the usb drive, there is the ReadyBoost tab in the properties, where you can set the capacity of acceleration, this capacity is generally larger the better, but note that after setting this part of the space can not be stored.
ReadyBoost was first introduced in vista system, mainly using the advantages of flash random read and write and fragmented file reading and writing to slightly improve the random read and write performance of the system, if your computer is very fast, you can not use the ReadyBoost function.
The system is loaded into a USB stick and the computer comes with you
If you want a system that you can take with you, you can also do it with a small USB stick without having to carry a heavier laptop. This function has higher requirements for usb drives, with a capacity greater than 32G, preferably a solid particle usb drive, but also needs to format a usb drive.
With the help of WinToGo software (WTG), the Windows reinstall system can be completely installed into the USB stick, not only in the USB stick system operation, but also in the USB stick to install software and place personal files, so that the USB stick can be comparable to the portable computer.
It should also be noted that the USB disk of the installation system should try to choose USB 3.0 and strong performance products, otherwise the running speed will be very slow, and if you are ready to install a lot of software or large files, you must also prepare a larger capacity USB disk to avoid the problem of insufficient space.
The old computer plays the residual heat, and the USB disk does soft routing
USB disk as a router is actually with the help of the function of the DD-WRT system to become a soft route, DD-WRT is a router firmware, because the function is more powerful, so it is widely used in wireless routers, and the implementation is also very simple.
After downloading the writing tool physdiskwrite, press the Windows logo key +R, enter CMD to open a command prompt window, execute the command: "physdiskwrite.exe-udd-wrt_public_vga.image", the program will automatically detect the hard disk and removable storage devices in the current system, and display the serial number and related parameters of all storage devices.
Select the serial number of the USB disk, DD-WRT will automatically detect the network environment and hard disk devices, and automatically make network settings to start providing routing services.
To enter the settings, just enter 192.168.1.1 in the browser address bar, the default user name of the router is root, the password is admin, select administrator after entering the page, and then set the Queue Selection to Chinese Simplified, and then you can configure your own routing information and filtering tools.
After seeing these four wonderful uses, do you also want to find your own USB disk to try? It should be reminded that you must first make a backup of important files, otherwise you will lose files because of the format of the USB stick.
