Feel free to comment below if you have any questions or feedback. The procedure will likely fail to create a portable installation if the installing PC already has an EFI boot partition (like Win10).You need to do some additional steps at the end, to fix the UEFI boot on USB.

This is because Ubuntu will install the boot files on your host system, not on USB. Normally this will not break the Win10 boot, however you want to move these files to the USB partition.More details: https: //meaningofstuff.blogspot.com/2019/09/linux-ubuntu-1904-full-install-on-usb.html. In my case if I don t create an EFI partition is not bootingI tried both ways, and without, it is not working.Another thing, even when it boots, it works extremely slow and with a strange behaviour.I didn’t saw the desktop yet 🙂 The screen before showing the desktop is infinite maybe because I used an USB 2.0? I don t know because I have sufficient space, 64 GB.And I tried to install different versions of Ubuntu with the same result.Even if it would work you can rely on this system working and loading so slow(in my case).I said I ll try with an USB 3.0 but don t know if it’ll make the difference. This doesn’t work for me. I get an error message when the laptop tries to boot:“error: attempt to read or write ouside of disk ‘hd0’.I used an HP Probook with i7 CPU, which doesn’t have a hard drive in it. This laptop cannot access the harddrive, and replacing the harddrive doesn’t help, so I guess it has an interface problem in the laptop itself.
