Do you plan to include the data inside OSGeoLive? If you mean to include
it outside that can be very tricky. Generally I've found that while
there is free space, Windows refuses to see partitions after the 1st one
(need to double check with windows 10).
Also we never got to testing cloning with Clonezilla which should be
more efficient at large production than straight dd, assuming you have a
large usb3 hub, or several smaller ones.
I have not seen usb C drives commonly yet, and there are still many
computers with no usb C at all. Most people with usb have dongles with
video and usb A ports. I'd also think people who tend to buy high end
laptops with usb C could download and run a virtual machine easily.
Thanks,
Alex
