How to run windows from an external usb disk.

The OP said that he /installed/ Windows on a USB drive...he did not say "installed from" Yes I see where you're coming from. My bad. He installed 10 on a USB. Just reading too fast and not processing right. I do stuff like that all the time, no big deal. So I wonder if anyone knows when Windows started supporting an installation on a USB drive... My /guess/ is that it does not...but in this case it worked because the boot partition was on the internal drive |
