Hello,
I have recently got a HP Victus 16, and i want to have a windows OS on an external SSD nvme v2 drive. So y can take it with me anywhere. And also connect it to the laptop and start windows from it (in that external drive i want to have a linux and windows OS).
I have created the instalacion with the media windows tool as well as onther programs all the process of installing it on the external drive finish with out problems, i have modified the bios to first start from the usb c (and then from de internal hard drive). But it won't boot form the external drive. I have tried as a GPT boot sector, and if i boot manually with the moot menu to start form than disk the system tells me that there is no boot secuence. I have followed several tutorials with different programs and i should be doing it correctly.
Has anyone had any similiar problem? has anyone solved it? any guide i can follow?
Thank you in advance.
