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.
There is an officially documented scenario where you:
This is meant for multi-user or low-bandwidth installs, not portable execution, but it can reduce download time when setting up new installs.
Given Logos’ design and licensing:
Those are the only “fully portable” experiences Logos officially supports across arbitrary hardware.
To the best of my knowledge this is not possible. You will have to connect your offline PC to the internet - at least for the first startup of Logos. You can copy all the data to your offline PC, but you'll still have to log into your online Logos account on the first startup.
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.

I use the NA28 daily for research, but do not always want or need to see the critical markings to the apparatus in the text. Often in fact an attempt to select a word results in selecting a nearby marking, and the apparatus opens. Is there a way to hide these in the iOS version of the app?
