Have a suggestion for the blog? Perhaps a topic you'd like us to write about? If so, we'd love to hear from you! Fancy yourself a writer and have a tech tip, handy computer trick, or "how to" to share?

Let us know what you'd like to contribute! Installing Windows on an external drive would be a great solution to the problem of available space, but as we said, Boot Camp and Windows impose a restriction on installing to an external drive.

There are actually a few ways you can successfully install Windows on an external drive. It allows you to install Windows on an external drive without first having Windows installed on a PC or in a virtual environment. This is an advanced process with quite a few pitfalls that can trip you up.

Be sure to read through the process before undertaking it. Also, make sure you have a current backup before beginning. Warning : The erase, format, and partitioning process will delete all data currently contained on the external drive. Warning : The process of preparing the USB flash drive will delete any data contained on the flash drive.

You can download the app from the VirtualBox website. We will use VirtualBox to install Windows 10 to our external drive. We can do this because in the previous step, we mapped the external drive to a VirtualBox virtualized disk. In order for VirtualBox to be able to access the external drive, we need to launch VirtualBox with elevated permissions. Once again, we turn to Terminal.

At this point, the Windows installer has copied all the files to the external drive, and has set up a boot environment that you can start your Mac from. Next time you boot from the external drive, Windows will complete the installation process. The USB flash drive you used earlier to make the Windows Support software contains all the drivers you need to install in Windows for the Apple hardware to work.

Once the installation completes, all your Apple hardware, including wireless keyboards and mice, should be working. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Thank you! For anyone having difficulties with these instructions, there are a few errors and necessary clarifications. Substituting the appropriate disk number as needed. The error is the second set of quotes around bootcamp. If you enter the corrected command this resolves that issue.

You saved my sanity, thank you. May I ask for more tech knowledge? Do you have an idea why that might happen, and how to fix the issue? I have exactly the same issue. When trying to boot the from the Windows SSD, the disk is not show. I have run into a snag, and am not sure how to resolve it. When I get to the step of selecting the bootcamp. Hello Dakota, I ran into this issue as well.

I hope this solves your issue. I would like to partition a hard drive and install windows on one of the partitions. Hello Paulo, I posted a comment on another issue similar, here is what I said and I hope it solves your problem. Hi, hope someone can help.

I have finished all the step successfully in my external drive except installing the bootcamp in Windows. The rest of the process is the same. I need a super mobile and lightweight solution. So I am a little stuck. When I rebooted my mac, holding option, the only boot option that appeared was my Mac HD. Is it my partition choice that is causing the issue? The EFI? How can I make sure that the computer recognizes the external drive on the option-boot? Just tried this on Monterey.

It does not work. Installation works fine until you need to boot from the USB Stick. I finished to setup on a Big Sur machine and then tried to boot this Windows on my Monterey laptop. No chance to boot into Windows. Oh thats a shame, if you do ever succeed in finding a workaround, please let me know.

Im having to run windows on another laptop, carrying them both around is a real pain. There is nowhere near enough space on my hard drive to partition it for a windows installation. I have just spent many days down a Bootcamp rabbit hole, until I found this post. I followed the steps very well and even did them 3 times but still having same issue.

I checked with disk utility and the partitions of the usb stick are not bootable when you look at info. Is that normal? Something going wrong? Something needs to be updated with MacOs Monterey? I am dying to be able to play AoE 4 but dont feel like installing windows on my internal ssd :- Thanks for the help!

This tut has gotten me the furthest of them all. Hello, I am having the same issue. Is it afterwards possible to use the boot camp external drive on a different windows machine laptop from work and use it there with virtual box? Even it has been long process and u have done it very well with proper guidance. Thank you bro. System halted. Install bootcamp on mac using bootcamp assistant. Run bootcamp Windows.

Download a clone tool I used macrium free. The cloned external drive is now a windows boot drive. You can now remove bootcamp from the internal drive using the bootcamp assistant.

Now boot from external drive and resize the bootcamp sector using Windows disk management tools to the full hard-drive size keeping efi sector.

Job done dual boot external Windows tb3 drive. Thanks for this. Do you know what I could be doing wrong here? Do you think deleting the internal bootcamp would resolve that? Even though I selected EFI, it booted up the internal bootcamp Windows, and not the copy bootcamp Windows on my external drive. Does the step of removing the internal bootcamp Windows force the booting of the external version?

When you hold the option key during boot, you should see all drives capable of booting. If you have both an internal bootcamp partition and an external bootcamp drive, you should see both as well as the Mac OS partition. If you are not seeing the external EFI drive then it is not bootable and something is wrong with it.

Thanks for your reply. I get three options: Mac; internal bootcamp; and EFI. When I select EFI, it actually loads up the internal bootcamp. Are you sure? If you cloned the internal bootcamp partition to the external drive, it will look the same until you make some changes to it, like installing additional applications or UI personalizations.

You can also easily tell by opening Windows Disk Manager. Yes, absolutely sure. I loaded up the external version, added something to the desktop. When I loaded up the internal version, that thing was on the desktop. Appreciate your feedback, folks. There are several mistakes in the description.

I have the same problem.
