[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1895369, member: 56379"] Yes...all you need is the macOS installed on the external HD (nothing else needed). Then you boot the computer from this external HD. Since this is an older 2014 iMac...just need to be sure you install a macOS version on the external HD that's compatible with a 2014 iMac. Any macOS between "Mavericks" (10.9.3) and "Big Sur" (macOS 11) will work. Nick [/QUOTE]
