Hi, 

1) How is to use a laptop from the USB port? (e.g running an OS, all the applications and shortly every kind of use including heavy activities)

 

2) Can an internal SSD be converted to an external SSD? 

 

Thanks

1. Please ask Microsoft. directly will they allow users to do that.

2. Yes, you can put SSD (2.5" or M.2 format) to an enclosure with USB 3.0 or USB-C connector and use it as an external drive.

 

Regards.
