Hi! The thing I want to do is put Windows 8.1 on external SSD Drive, and boot it from USB 3.0 .
I don;t want to remove HDD inside my laptop ACER E5-511.
Windows 8.1 bing, is installed with recovery on inside HDD Seagate 500GB (ST500LT012-1DG142). There is 4 hidden partitions and one system ( c: ), where is windows installed.
What I did:
1. I cloned HDD disc which is inside the laptop to external SSD.
2. I changed the names of disk HDD and SSD - for different.
Now I can try to boot from USB 3.0 my SSD Windows 8.1, but I readed that there may to be trouble with the same structure of drives (SSD and HDD) and system could get craze. If it's possible I want to use for it freeware or shareware software.
Could anyone help me to solve this problem?
