Try using Windows To Go to install Windows 10 Pro on the ETB3SSD Try cloning WINtoUSB stick to ETB3SSD while running the original windows 10 enterprise on the laptop However I only tried doing this so far while booted off WINtoUSB thumbstick and as a result, not only is the internal SSD not acesible but neither is the ETB3SSD when I plug it in. So stop pursuit on this one and did more reading.Īnother idea I had was to clone the USB stick to the ETB3SSD, and then repartition the drive to its full size. However Windows Enterprise ISO is only available through the Licensing Portal. My second thought was to use Windows To Go since the laptop its connected to is running Windows 10 Enterprise. My original thought was to use WINtoUSB to install Windows 10 on the external Thunderbolt 3 SSD (ETB3SSD) but its not a USB drive so it does not show up in the list of applicable devices to install to. This works great when its up and running but the write speeds to the sticks are so slow that the last windows update took 2 days to complete. I also have Windows 10 installed on two separate USB 3.0 sticks using WINtoUSB. Its also the only computer I have that has a Thunderbolt 3 port. I do have admin rights on it, but policy will prevent certain software from executing/installing. I have a Dell Precision 5520 from work that I don't want to mess with the O/S. I really liked this article and the first paragraph describing why you might want to do this describes my situation bang on. The biggest problem I find is the articles I am reading tend to be for externally mounted USB drives, or installing windows 10 on macs. I did a lot of reading and now I feel like I am running in circles in terms of possibilities and some article appear to contradict other articles. I made the mistake of not educating myself enough first and now trying to salvage the situation. I recently purchased an external 500 GB Thunderbolt 3 NVMe SSD drive with the intention of using it as a boot drive. I've hit information overload in terms of trying to figure out how to get windows 10 up an running on an external drive.
