Note that, when you install a Windows based software program, the program uses Windows as a template to operate the program. So, if you don't have Windows installed on the computer, the program will not run. Windows has built-in features that Windows based software programs depend on to operate. They are not standalone programs that can be copied to a thumb drive. Without the Windows program, they can't do anything.
