I just wanted to jump in to add my ***YES*** to portable software. More than 95% of my software is portable, since at least 2005. So I can sit down at any computer anywhere, and do my work and play, using my portable drive.

Two highly recommended sites:

https://www.portablefreeware.com/ --- This one is very useful, with install and usage notes / instructions, and customer feedback comments.

https://portableapps.com/

I must move from Win8 to a new Win10 laptop in the next few days, and hoping that goes smoothly. I have never had contact yet with Win10 -- our (government entity) office is still using Win7.

Any gotcha's I should be watching for?
