How to create a Windows to Go drive without Windows 8 Enterprise

Windows to Go, a exclusive feature found in Windows 8 Enterprise, lets users create a portable version of the OS, that can be used directly from a USB drive. The utility comes in a step by step wizard, that guides the user in preparation and setup of their very own Windows to Go drive. While this feature is only for Windows 8 Enterprise, it does not mean other version of Windows 8 can't have it too. It can, we'll just have to do it without the fancy wizard, and here's how.

-A computer running at least Windows 8.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 might work, but it's not tested.

Notes:
You will still need a license if you want to continue to use it.
Windows to Go, still needs a hard drive to use as a pagefile.
Windows 8.1 Install file is Install.esd, for it to work it must be decrypted to Install.wim
Use Windows 8's Install.wim, if Windows 8.1 Install files isn't decrypted.
