Q: boot windows external disk mac os x

Has anybody had experience with installing Windows 8.x or 10 on an external USB or Thunderbolt SSD & booting off OS X Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro?

 

I don't have enough room to put Windows, QuickBooks and Parallels on the internal SSD. I'd like to be able to travel with the company's QuickBooks Pro (Windows) file to do business on the fly.

 

Otherwise, I have to buy a Win machine & I'm trying to avoid that.

 

Thanks in advance....

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
