In other case, what if you are not allowed to install and use any third party software’s at your work place? A solution for this is using portable Apps.
What is a Portable App ? A portable application (portable app) is a software product designed to be easily moved from one computing device to another. Portable apps are portable versions of regular applications – such as browsers etc. Portable apps are usually stored on USB drives but can be stored on any other compatible flash drive. A portable app is not need to be installed on your PC, unlike traditional software, because files and data are self-contained, portable apps run independently of the host operating system (OS).
Many Apps comes with separate portable versions for user convenience, but what if the app you use doesn’t have a portable version?No worries, as you can make or create your own version of portable apps.
Today, we shall learn how to create or make portable apps and software on Windows PC. We will be using a Windows PC application called Cameyo to create portable apps. Below I have listed two methods (Online and Offline).
