How to do a full legacy-bios install onto USB stick from live desktop shortcut.

My apologies for not including this information in my post.

The current version, Version 6.2. Which is the version I am currently using in persistent live form. I was planning, subject to advice, on using the Lite Live Desktop installation shortcut to do this. So the exact image I guess is determined by that? The ISO I created the persistent live USB from was: linux-lite-6.2-64bit.iso.

Quote:What age is the proposed hardware and what version of Windows does it currently run ?
  • Computer: Dell 8300 i7-2600 @3.4Ghz, x64, bought in c2010. USB 2.x, SATA (v2 I think) and PCIE 2.x
  • OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, SP1
  • Graphics: Using built in graphics, for now, but for the future am interested in using a Nvidia GTX 1060 card which I have access to, and which the hardware database suggests people have used.

Though I understand USB 2.x is far from ideal, the installation is mainly a backup strategy and it runs at an acceptable rate as a persistent live USB. The original windows installation is beginning to cause problems, and I need a fall back in case failure becomes terminal. (I have a full data backup and boot disk clone, but the system was a bit unstable when the clone was made. I am trying to avoid the need to buy and configure a new computer in the middle of a project).

Many thanks and kind regards
