Can I put Windows 10 on my internal SSD and Linux on my external 1TB removable drive? (alien.top)

I tried to flash a Linux ISO onto that drive with balenaEtcher which I have done with countless USB drives, and for some reason I get an error when trying to boot into the drive. Do I need to use the USB Live boot version? Thanks

Oh really? Crap, I’ll have to upgrade then. I installed win10, and don’t see an automatic way to upgrade so I’ll have to dig around a little

Windows Update should offer you the upgrade. If it does not, you can go to the site for installing Windows 11 (https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11) and upgrade there.

I had to do a fresh install cause win10 doesn’t support the tpm chip :(
