    Can we make bootable external hard drive?

    I made the hard drive of my laptop to external hard drive and want to put a bootable hard drive alternative, help me!
    JUSTVICKS returns with a great relief
    and freedom is my realistic belief
    all above all
    someone shall fall
    but not me
    just wait and see.

    If your external HDD is connected to USB, you can only make it bootable if your motherboard can boot from a USB port.

    Yes, it depends solely on your motherboard, if it allows to boot on a USB peripheral so it's good.

    Have to see whether after the OS in question agrees to be installed on a USB drive, even with linux it is not necessarily the case without small change.
