How Can I Install Windows 11 on External Hard Drive or SSD?
I've successfully installed Windows 11 on internal drives in the past, attempting this on an external drive is entirely new to me, and I'm encountering some challenges. Current Setup: PC Specifications: [Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 4070] Internal Storage: [512GB SSD] External Hard Drive: [1TB USB 3.0 External HDD] What I'm trying to achieve? I want to have a portable version of Windows 11 that I can boot from my external hard drive. This would allow me to use my customized Windows environment on different computers without affecting their internal drives. Question: What is the most reliable method to install Windows 11 on an external hard drive? Are there updated tools or official methods recommended for this purpose? I'm eager to learn the correct process and avoid any potential pitfalls that might arise during the installation.BarbarankJan 16, 2025Iron Contributor31Views0likes5CommentsWhich notification balloon you like more?
I think the Windows XP better as the soft yellow different from the rest of the UI grabs our attention better than the dark toasts that have the same color from the rest of the UI. What is your thought on this?BBrookerJan 16, 2025Iron Contributor16Views0likes1Commentms edge icons changed
Can anyone help me find out why my theme and edge icons have changed randomly on their own to a white box with a blue square in the middle? I have done multiple web searches and deleted the icon cache and restarted among other suggestions. All the latest updates to win 11. see the pic. I manually changed every edge icon back to the edge icon via the properties box and it lasts for a few days and then changes to the image above.

Hi all, I have a entry-level PC that currently is running Windows 11. However, the SSD hard drive is small in volume (only 128GB) and the C drive is only a few GBs left. I have to manually clean up the drive at weekly basis and this really takes time. So I bought a new NVME SSD hard drive and I am wondering how can I clone bootable hard drive to a new hard drive without reinstalling the app? I want to do in an easy way. I heard the hard drive can be clone flawlessly without reconfiguration. Please share your insight if you know how to do this.

Hello, Recently I was trying to upgrade to W11 and I ran the PC Health Check. I get all green check marks except for CPU. The interesting part is that my cpu is I7-7700K AND is listed under the Supported CPU list for Windows 10 22h2. I don't get it. What am I missing? Anyone has some suggestion?pishtikeJan 16, 2025Occasional Reader11Views0likes1Comment
