I am having trouble with installing windows 10 (iso file) to my external seagate driver. Non of the tutorials cover this issue. Anyone, help!😕
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Are you trying to create a Windows USB Installer on an external USB HDD, or trying to install Windows on an external USB HDD?
the latter is my answer. It keeps saying the file is too large during install.
BC Assistant does not support installing Windows on external storage. If you need to, use VMware and Winclone.
What if I want to run Windows only on my external drive?
Only Windows Enterprise licensing (officially unsupported on Macs) allows an external Windows installation. The file too large error is because your source Windows ISO is corrupt, which happens very frequently when downloaded over wireless connections.
You will need to install Windows on your internal disk first, then clone it your USB drive and remove the internal installation. The other option is to install Windows on the internal drive (C:) and use an external disk (D:) for all your applications and personal documents, which allows to port the disk to another machine.
In all these, you need to address your licensing needs, as appropriate.
the steps given do not cover using seagate drive as my windows startup
