Hi
Is it feasible to download an operating system to an external hard drive so that the device (computer, laptop) can't be used without the external hard drive?
Yes, of course. You can install your complete operating system, all programs etc. On the externally connected hard drive and let the computer start from this disk.
To do this, you would probably have to change the boot order in the BIOS so that it boots from the external data carrier first.
Yes, that is basically possible.
This works if you have the portable version. In Windows, for example, that's Windows 10 To Go. However, this version is only available with Windows 10 Pro.
Yes, it is. But if it is only about the bootability of the system. I would prefer a password on a USB stick. The system reacts much faster.
Do you mean an art dongle?
Exactly.
Can you do it yourself?
Because somehow I don't find any
Yes, Windows can do that by default.
