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.”

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.

Is it better to anchor multiple commentaries to one note, or create multiple notes with anchors to one verse? E.g.

I have recently purchased a Boox Go 10.3 and logged into my Logos account. Used it a few times with no issues.
