I need help with a boot a OS

[RKoch3196]

Hi i need some help, a year ago i buy a Surface pro 3, all ok until now, the only problem is the small hard drive capacity only 64Gb, in addition i'm studying system engineering and i dont want to damage the system with the tools to code, my idea is install a windows 10 in a external hdd and boot it, i have already installed Windows in the external hdd, and open the UEFI options but i can't make boot the OS, in other forums i read that the Surface only boot fat32 disks but Windows need a ntfs format what can i do? Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum

What you are trying to do, as far as I know, can't be done. As you said, the external "boot" drive would need to be FAT32.

[edit] I stand corrected.

You need an external disk that supports Windows 2 Go (It allows multiple partitions including the FAT32 bootable). Something along these lines:

Windows To Go Drives | Kingston Technology

Windows To Go | Super Talent Technology

And technically you need Windows 10 Enterprise or Education.

I doubt that even a (re)writable DVD would work but who knows.
