yes exactlyIf I understand you right, you really want a portable OS. That is possible e.g. like this:

Note though that you will need a very fast USB3 flash drive. The last one I bought (32GB) cost $80. You are better off using a 60GB SSD which might be cheaper (plus the caddy). That's what I use and it works perfectly on USB3 and USB2. USB3 is nearly as fast as running it from the internal SSD and USB2 is only slightly slower. Any flash drive will be a LOT slower though.
i seeI don't think that is possible if your ultimate goal is to carry around this USB and fire it up on any machine.
Every Windows installation locks itself to the system it was installed from. Everytime you boot up, it tries to recognize the system first and all the hardwares attached to it when you installed it. It is possible with FREE OSes like Linux but not with paid OS like Microsoft Windows. Last night I have tried the FREE Pear OS 8 (a Linux distro) installed on a regular USB 2.0 flashdrive and it is FAST! The interface looks exactly like a Mac OS X / iOS 7.
The way you want to do it is like there is no law against piracy.
i see
but i never used linux before
but i guess i should try one time
do u have a website where to get download portable FREE Pear OS 8
and maybe guide how to make it over usb stick and make it bootable for it so i can run the os with it?

As for installation on USB, Google up "Rufus USB". Rufus is FREE a utilitly for creating bootable USB. It's very simple to use. You'll figure it out. Give me a shout if you run into roadblock.
