I am trying to install Windows 10 on my external hard drive with my MacBook Pro. I went into Boot Camp and it recognized my hard drive. It installed everything and rebooted into the Windows 10 setup.
When I got to the menu where I select the disk, I selected my external hard drive, but I couldn't use it because Windows can't install to a device connected by USB (That's what the error message said.) So I just went on and installed it on the partition that Boot Camp made.
Now I am typing this on Windows 10 wondering, how can I install it on my external hard drive? Maybe I can copy the Windows partition on my Mac's hard drive onto the external drive. Is there any way to do this?
I know there is an option on MacOS to restore from another drive/partition, and I have tried this. But I can't boot from the drive!
