I have a Bootable SSD USB3 250GB with Windows 10 to play with on my MBA, Mac Mini, and Windows Desktop.ĭoing it all on a MAC would also be doable but would require a working Windows Bootcamp and a lot of "option" key booting. To begin my process, I headed to my Windows 10 PC and downloaded the Windows 10 ISO using the media creation tool. Problems not knowing the hardware available to you, will include whether the drive will be MBR or GPT (GUID) partitioned and whether your motherboard supports UEFI.įor me, with a desktop running Windows 8.1, a Mac Mini running Yosemite, a SSD with USB3 enclosure, Carbon Copy on the MAC, Win 10 ISO on the Win desktop as well as free Wintousb, Apple's bootcamp driver folder, and free EaseUS partitioning program, it was easy and quick. Step 2: Download the Windows 10 ISO and WintoUSB. Next plug the drive into a Windows machine, the exfat partition will show up, format it NTFS, download the Win10 Technical Preview ISO (noting the activation code), run Wintousb select the ISO, and simply select the same NFTS partition as system and boot. Then option boot to that drive and partition it using OSX Drive Utilities with an exfat partition.
One way to do it on an external drive would be to simply use Carbon Copy Clone to clone your OSX to a larger drive. On the Mac running current version of Windows 10 connect your Windows To Go USB drive (Note: all data will be erased) that is going to run Windows 10 image. Otherwise the Windows OS will need reactivation any time you use it on a different computer. Boot into the Windows OS as per Apple article in step 1 and copy the BootCamp drivers to a USB or external location. Look at Wintousb vice Wintogo! Wintousb is really easy to use, particularly with Windows 10 since there is a universal OS activation key good until about next spring. It can be done but there are several ways to do what you want and it will be time consuming, error prone, and the steps will be different depending on what hardware you have, the programs you use to do partitioning, cloning, and OS ISO's. The windows partition will have to be NTFS.
