Karan Buttar; Hello;

Yes one can - however, you will be bottlenecked by the USB speed .
There are better alternatives ( ubuntu as a virtual machine in the Window's system - for one ) .

-hope this helps-

Just create free space on the USB and install. The installer does not care about the physical connection of a drive.

Just remember to do a full backup of your data before starting I case of catastrophe

Can you help with this problem?
