[FRIAM] How to install Windows on an external drive | TechConnect

[Russell Standish]

For Linux, VirtualBox works a treat. I would say Windows 10 works better on
Virtual Box than on real hardware, at least according to people I know
who do the latter. 

NB Windows 10 has some known DHCP issues. I generally just end up
configuring a manual IP on a private network or a NAT just to get
around connectivity problems. But such things are almost trivially
easy to do on the fly with Virtual Box.

Cheers

For large drives with USB C connectors, adapter cables don’t work, and even those USB 3.1 host adapters (PCI cards) may not work if they have USB-A outputs instead of USB-C.   New laptops that have USB-C natively should be ok, and when it works it is fast and quite slick.
