I think the answer to that question depends on how much you want copies of your projects on those PCs. Does the PC that you attch your USB drive to need to have a copy of the project all the time, or only when you plug in the USB drive? If it needs to have access to the project after you have removed your USB drive, then you should clone the project from the USB drive to the PCs local drive and open a working directory there. Then when you plug in your USB to the PC, run ``fossil sync all'' (if you have more than one project) to synchronize all changes. If on the other hand, the PC does not need access to the project when the USB drive is not present, you could open up a working directory directly on the USB drive. Special consideration may need to be made if you are sharing the USB drive between multiple operating systems, but you already said you were working exclusively on Windows, so this shouldn't be a problem to worry about at this stage. One thing you do need to do, however, is to make sure that you sync your changes from your USB drive to somewhere else so that if your USB drive dies, you don't lose everything.
