Is there a portable version for Tribler for windows? Can it be done?
I mean is it possible to do it?

Tribler can be run containerized: we have Docker and Flatpak, for example. So, it should certainly be possible: I guess Docker is a portable way in itself already.

The Tribler Windows executable is not "special" and - with some effort - you can create a portable configuration. One of the key things is the TSTATEDIR (environment) variable. The directory that you set in the TSTATEDIR is where Tribler stores its (1) configuration file, (2) database files, and (3) download checkpoints. Inside of the (1) Tribler configuration, you can set up relative paths instead of absolute paths. The (2) database files should need no edits. The (3) download configuration files are a bit more annoying: you would have to select all your files and click "move storage" whenever the drive letter changes (when you plug your USB into a different computer).
