absolutely.
BUT!
Can they boot from USB? NO, NOT ALL MACHINES CAN.
Are these all the same or similar, or is each one different?
IFF you can make a bootable USB, it is an important tool.
If it's windoze, then Control Panel gets you where you want to go.
In addition, the bootable USB gives you access to format and partition a
hard drive, etc.
