like to knoow how to create a fully transportable usb windows install so it can be used on different computers
This response is from Perplexity:
No, Logos doesn’t support a truly “portable” USB-style install that you can just plug into any random Windows machine and run independently of that machine’s OS.
Here are your realistic options and their limits:
Faithlife’s own docs say removable/external drives are not supported for the main Logos installation because of stability and performance issues. You technically can:
However:
This is more “install stored on external media” than “portable install.”
If your goal is: “I want my whole Windows environment with Logos to boot from a USB drive on different PCs,” then you’re talking about a portable Windows setup rather than a portable Logos. Tools like Rufus can create a Windows‑To‑Go–style USB where you:
This can work in practice, but:
So it’s possible as a power-user workaround, but not something the Logos team endorses.

Use an Ethernet cable, USB tethering from your mobile phone, or use a USB adaptor for WiFi.
that was an excellent follow up. thanks much.

My Greek NT SBL is blacked out whenever I open it on my iPad. I used it every day. It has preciously blacked out, but then I could close the app, open it again, and it would be back. It has not helped this time. On my iPhone it pops right up. Does anyone know why this would occur and how to fix it?
Hi all, I had to do a clean install of my laptop and lost my installer of Logos 10. The current builds can't be installed. Anyone have an installer for V33 or earlier around that they could share with me. I would really appreciate the help.
how to find in Logos how many times something is said, Jesus said Kingdom of God how many times?
