Hello all would be a question how to save Win 7 software from a computer alone to floppy disks (6pcs) or a.32gt stick? Which would be better?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY.

Depends on the software, a lot of them rely on extra DLLs, registry values, registered COM objects, services etc that would break the application if you tried just running it from a portable drive.

You can't in most cases back up programs to any media for the reasons I mentioned.

Floppy disks? You won't fit much nowadays on a 720kB or 1.44MB floppy. Maybe you mean something else (CD, DVD), I don't know...
