While trying to boot my Windows 8.1 OS I was able to make it seen as a Windows to Go OS, while now I moved back the HD internally.
In order to enable BitLocker I need to remove the "Windows to Go" setting from the OS, however I didn't find any way to do it from the UI.
Does anyone know how to revert the "Windows to Go" flag in Windows 8.1?

Run this command from a cmd prompt with admin rights:
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control /v PortableOperatingSystem /t REG_DWORD /d 0
The value PortableOperatingSystem is the flag you want to change. If it is 1, Windows Thinks it is a WindowsToGo.

That was the setting! Thank you, worked like a charm. – Michele Di Cosmo – 2015-05-25T14:09:27.520
@magicandre1981 - Would/ could the reverse be true as well? Can a regular Windows be flipped by simply that one flag.. to make it WTG? – Alex S – 2015-09-01T08:30:50.797
@AlexS I never tried it – magicandre1981 – 2015-09-01T15:25:20.447
