I CREATED AN EXTERNAL M.2 NVMe SSD with Windows 10 on the go

I wanted to try this for a long time, now I finally got a chance to see it in action and hopefully it will make my testing a bit easier. 🙃 If you have any questions about the setup process, feel free to ask them here! 👇

rufus does not see my m.2 and there is no icon to choose disk

will the promo code work with buying windows 11 licenses?

Works for w11?

Thanks !

Now i know my plan works !

I have a laptop dell xps 15 and both m.2 slots are frigd so i needed to come up with something else!

does it work if you plug it in a mac with m1/m2 chipset?

great video - Is there anyway to hide the internal drive in the labtop... for a total isolation of the original system and the external ? for me its to totally seperate my private program/downloads and my heavily limited and secured work pc. So I never end up etc getting a virus or malware over the the other system basically

Dec 2022: Any special setup for a Win 10 environment? Trying M2 with external housing via USB. USB provides plenty of power but is not recognized as a drive when left in place. Thanks.

Wont let me boot to drive after following tutorial. Get error on attempting to boot to it "could not locate 'efi\boot\bootx64.efi' : (14) not found"

I want to say thank you for this video. after lots of struggle, I come across your video. and finally my problem is sorted.

My question is after I do as this video says, can I then remove the M.2 Drive from the USB and install onto a Moterboard and boot it up.

I'm going to try it with an old external HDD for some Nintendo emulator gaming. If the HDD is too unbearably slow I might try ripping out the SSD from my dead Surface Pro 2 and buying an enclosure, or buying a Samsung T7. Would be cool to have a portable gaming PC for those games, just using any computer to run it.

Would I be able to use this method to install the ISO file on the M.2 through the USB adapter on my computer, then use it as a boot on a new computer build to install windows on the M.2, then from there install the M.2 in the motherboard as you normally would? I can't find one of my USB's to save my life to use that as the boot drive with the ISO to be able to install windows on the already installed M.2, but I found my M.2 to USB adapter.

I can't install it because Windows 10 setup does not support configuration of or installation to disks through a USB or IEEE 1394 port. Any solutions?

can I use win 10 pro on the win 10 home? I have two laptop .

This video is great.
I have a 512gb Nvme drive inside my Asus rog strix.. That my son uses for gaming.
I know have 1tb Nvme Windows 10 OS in a USB enclosure to boot into my own personal OS.
Thanks for the help :))

Hai, I hope this comment section still active. I have some question.
So I got a really slow PC at the office, I want to upgrade it with SSD but it is an AIO PC so dismantling it will be difficult.
So I plan to make boot up SSD with USB enclosure and stumble upon this video.
My question is, I plan to use M.2 with USB 3.0 enclosure, (I dont plan to upgrade more than that, since it is only for the office, and it bought with my personal money).
is this configuration Okay? will it make my PC faster?
I plan to use it only for Office work and internet browsing (Browser are really2 slow on my PC).
Thanks in advance for the answer.

try you the speed on USB-C?

Can we boot OS using ASUS ROG Strix Arion as case with SSD in it?

can you only do MBR for a fresh install?

excellent and very useful video! 👏👏

Thanks for the tutorial I have the same SSD and my m2 slot has died so I want to use it via type c
My first question am I have to install windows again
second can you test your speeds with diskmark

Amazing!🏆
