So, yesterday I learnt how to save the Visual Studio 2010 iso to a flashdrive and the install it to my computer from there (yes yes noob thing)

I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98xlSjTyCaQ and all went well.

But this question popped up in my mind. So, the person in the video basically creates a virtual drive from the iso and then copies the contents to a formated flash drive.

So, if I could turn my main C: drive into an iso (e.g, using ImgBurn) and then do the same thing the person in the video did, would I be able to boot any computer as if I were using mine? I mean, with all my programs, the os, files, etc...?

EDIT: I would try it myself, but the os I use is windows 8.1 so that would probably take too long to copy all files. I could try with my linux OSs in my virtual machines, if only they would read flashdrives. I tried a lot of tutorials but I can't get it to read flashdrives

Yes

In more helpful answers: Yes, you can, but you probably wouldn't want to. It would be very slow, due to the painful random write speeds of Flash memory. In addition, many computers in schools, libraries, and other public places have the BIOS locked to prevent you booting off of arbitrary media, although it sounds like that might not be the case for this question.

Alright, thanks guys.

Also, would this be possible in a computer that uses PXE? Or is that what it means to have the BIOS locked?
