Windows 10: installing windows 10 on external ssd

Hi. Im trying to to install windows 10 on an external.
I downloaded the tool form Microsoft. I went to win to go, but it didnt recognize an iso. I went back and clicked on the set up tool. It's not making an iso on my flash drive/memory stick. It wants to install windows on my computer.

Previously, I created an iso from my new copy of windows using my dvd player. I installed windows on the external. Then I couldn't find it on my pc. I unplugged everything (my hub) and plugged the ssd directly. on reboot, it started the installation process. However, I watched a vid about this that told me I would have an option to create an account with microsoft (or windows, or decline and create one later some other way. I didnt have the option while installing. It asked for personal information including my birthday. Is it serious? My birthday? I tried giving it a fake birthday, but I didnt get the option to continue. What would be on the next page? My SSN and bank account info? I stopped installation. Then neither my pc, nor disk manager would recognize the drive. It took alot of doing to find it, reformate. Something still isn't right with it. The pc only detects it if plugged directly into the C port, not my hub anymore. How do I go about setting up the SSD and downloading windows to install on the external? I intend to use it for virtual machine, as well as use on other pc's. Thanks for your help.

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

From Ubuntu, Installing Windows 10 on an external SSD

I've followed every post about this subject, but I feel like most breeze over details, so maybe I have a few misconceptions:

Steps to Problem:

1. Downloading the ISO file here: Scarica Windows 10
   
2. Format external SSD to be NTFS
   
3. Install ISO onto external SSD using mkusb
   
4. Boot onto external SSD produces the windows 10 installation screen, but when I get past the language screen I get: "windows 10 A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard Disk driver"
   

Question:

• Do I need to install windows on a bootable USB instead of the SSD? How then can I demand the USB installation installs onto the SSD and not the main hard drive (which has Ubuntu)
  
• This error is usually seen for Windows 7 (missing usb3.0 drivers, but Windows10 comes with them, corrupted ISO, but I'm fairly sure the ISO is good)
  

I'm a bit lost as how to accomplish this. Some help in this regard would be swell. I have a laptop with Ubuntu (an internal SSD), and a blank external SSD (With the official Windows 10 ISO and an official product key), and want to get Windows on the external drive.
