    External HD


    1. I have a external HD that is compatible with windows 7 or 8. When I upgrade to windows 10 will I still be able to use it?

    2. Can I download windows 10 ISO to a external HD and then install windows 10 right off of that same external HD?

    :)

    I've got 6 or 7 externals made from hard drives from upgraded desktop and laptops that have been stuffed into cheap USB enclosures from Ebay. All mine work with Windows 10.
