I didn't test it yet, but question about stand-alone vs portable: I guess the stand-alone version doesn't require any installation, but does store data in some generic folder, e.g. the regular Windows User / App data folder. Whereas the portable will probably store its data in its own executable's (or sub) folder. Correct?


You are correct

Want to try Electrum and I understand the security advice. The reason I'm considering the portable version, rather than the stand-alone, is that I want to store a wallet on an encrypted partition that is only opened whenever I actually need to access it.
