Thanks to all posters on this forum for their helpful info, it was frustrating sorting through everything and the fact that I couldn't just move my old internal installation from my ancient Mac Pro to an external one without re-formatting was annoying*, but at this point I'm just glad it all works again. *I have subsequently found some stuff online suggesting that an extant Windows installation CAN sometimes be turned into a Windows To Go using some third-party utilities, but I didn't find them before reformatting, so if you're in that situation and want to test it out, I'd say MAKE A BACKUP and then let me know if it works and throw some steps up here. Correction to my original question for future people: Download the Windows ISO from Mac. If you download it from Windows, the Media Creation Kit does not give you the version of Windows ISO that you need. Can a seagate drive for mac be reformatted for pc. --- Thanks for the walkthrough. In your steps, you recommend using Rufus to do a Windows To Go installation to the eventual boot drive you want using a Windows 10 ISO. Rufus doesn't support ISOs created through the Windows Media Creation link ( How were you able to get a usable Windows ISO for Windows to Go through the Microsoft process? First off thank you so much for this guide! I have been thinking that I am not the only one trying to run egpu and also run windows off of an external drive to save space on the Mac side. Though I have been running into an issue on the last step to bless the volume. Terminal tells me that '-volume' is an unrecognized option. I ended up using the '-mount' in place of it and it seems to work. Now when I reboot from the efi boot, I get a windows system crash 'windows has encountered an error:('.
My guess is that this has to do with the file and its incompatibility with my version of macOS Sierra (10.12.6) and less with the fact that I'm not using the '-volume' bless option properly. Any thoughts? And thanks in advance! ![]() Posted by: Eightarmedpet My set up was a lot simpler and pretty much the same hardware. Why not try a really small Bootcamp instal and then run games etc from an external? This is what I was doing when I couldn't figure out how to do what stillmoms did.
