Booting one drive on multiple PCs
Go to solution
Solved by Thermite,
My initial question was whether or not a drive can be booted into if plugged into a different PC.
After looking it up, I now understand that you can't plug a drive into Computer-X and boot into it if the OS was installed while the drive was connected to Computer-Y.
The only question I have now is: ...why?
Why can we not plug drives into different PCs and boot into them?
It is dependent on the type of operating system. windows is bound by the type of processor it was installed on, but linux doesn't have this issue. This isn't a hardware issue, but a software issue. Windows locks itself to what ever type of architecture the cpu is when it is installed.
