Yes you can, and  the installation process is the same, just point it to the external drive

My gaming PC is currently on my first floor and I am planning on moving it into my basement, and am thinking of putting a M1 Mac Mini in its place. It would be used by my mother and I mostly for the web, light photo editing, and other light tasks. I am wondering if I can hook up a external ssd and load apps onto it so I don't need to buy upgraded storage. Is it possible to install apps directly onto the ssd, and if so, how?
