W10 external drive display problems

Hello there, I'm not clear on the question? it's connected By Thunderbolt , the J500 is a 2.5" SSD drive enclosure that has TB and USB3 ports(USB3 on this device doesn't support boot capability), there are no other TB devices present.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately after completing both, the flickering persists with no change.

although it doesn't specificly say, It has to be SATA 6gbps, it's a SSD drive that does 300+MB/s

sucess! Installing directly to the drive has worked, no flickering and i'm up and running.

Unfortunately I got click happy with deleting the Drive partitions on the disk and accidently deleted my Mac HD partition =_= but at least bootcamp works now.

THis also means the $40 I spent on Winclone was a complete waste, neither being necessary and it didn't apparently even work right.

"There are no issues with the disk or hardware, which is very 😎."

Indeed! I'm ecstatic! Thanks so much!

"What year/model is the source of this Winclone image?"

I presume you mean the Windows 10 source?

In which case;

This is a W10 .iso from the MS website, build 1511

The source of the image I would use to clone to the EDrive would be the Bootcamp installation of this .iso

The instructions I had (previously) been following were essentially; complete the bootcamp partition/installation, then clone the internal disk bootcamp partition to the external drive and (then) delete the internal bootcamp partition.

I'm not following you here. I do not have the old disk utility to determine if the EFI part is being installed or not, and I'm unclear on what you mean by formatting as a normal disk, but what I do is Fat/GUID. I run BCA and there is no option to select an alternative disk, there never has been to my knowledge?

You have to partition the internal disk.

BCA downloads the BC6 drivers, then restarts and the W10 installation begins. I reach the drive selection part and it gives me some error message saying it can't install into the internal partition because it needs to be NTSF formatted. There is the EFI part, the mac HD part, the BC part and the recovery part. At this point, I select the external drive part as the installation destination but it is not partitioned with an EFI part because BCA installs the EFI part on the internal drive. I've been hesitant to just delete this and force W10 to create an EFI part on the edrive because I believe then BCA won't be able to revert the internal drive back to original state (w/o the windows part) but I see no other alternative.

BCA does not install a EFI part to boot on the eDrive because it does so on the internal drive, Windows doesn't either because the EFI is already there, it doesn't care that the install/EFI part are on separate drives. BCA deletes the EFI part as apart of reverting it back to original state, thereby removing the ability to boot from the edrive.

I even went through the hassle of manually creating an EFI part on the eDrive and using Bcdboot to try to copy and recreate the EFI part on the eDrive which I had *thought* I did successfully(it had indicated so) but when I removed the BC install on the internal drive, It again does not allow me to boot to the eDrive windows installation.
