I am trying to install Windows 10 Home Edition on a USB drive. I am installing from a USB flash drive.
The install program claims it will not install on a USB drive. This is just fucking bug nuts by the way. Linux has been able to install to a USB drive since soon after USB was invented. I mean, what the fuck?
I called MS Support and "chatted" with two very nice people of the Indian subcontinent who really did try to help. But the situation was way too far outside their comfort zone so no progress was made. MS Support thinks that if I partition the USB drive that it might work. I cant imagine why and I have no particular way to do that here that would give me any confidence that I would do what it is that they need.
So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to install Windows 10 Home Edition on an unformatted USB drive. 2. Would another edition of Windows 10 be able to do this? 3. If I install Windows 10 on this drive as a SATA drive, take it out and put it in a USB enclosure, will Windows 10 be able to boot successfully from it? (BTW, this has nothing to do with the BIOS/UEFI so far as I know).
I am going to try a few experiments tomorrow and then I am going to give up on it, because I really dont need to run stupid software.
