Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk...

I believe there are ways of skipping this error and installing on an external USB drive. The question is - would you really want to use Windows over USB. It would be unbearably slow.

additionally, it would lower the lifespan of your usb. just get an external ssd.

  Lifespan of the USB?
  Do you mean the USB drive or the actual bus?

    The drive. Using Windows on a USB means constantly reading and writing to the USB, which wears it down.
