Title: Windows 7 System
Post by: Luckyjfl on January 06, 2021, 01:20:53 PM

Hi Guys, I have windows 10 on my main hard drives. I wonder could you tell me if it is possible to install Windows 7 System on an external Hard drive and actually boot from it.  I was always led to believe you had to install the oldest system first . So, I am not sure if ths actually applies to an external Hard drive. Thanks in advance.
All the best.

You cannot boot any ver of Windows from an external drive...this is by design.
