Install Windows 10 On External Ssd For Mac

Hi, if you install windows 10 on an external drive, you can’t just plug it in and it will switch the operating system. There are 2 possibilities: 1: reboot your device, choose windows and boot windows 2: start a virtual machine on macOS, which is stored on your external drive. The advantage of 2 would be, that you don’t have to restart your Mac. But on the other side it would take more resources to run two operating systems simultaneously, so you would have more “power” when you switch to windows completely (first possibility). So, if you want to do one, just install windows on the external drive (think boot camp can help you here, but I’m not sure - sorry) and after that you can just switch the OS while starting your Mac.

It’s the same like installing windows on your internal drive, hold the option key to access the start manager. Mac software for architectural design.
