Boot two computers from one drive.

[Linkz]

Say I have an SSD I use on my main computer, but I'm leaving home for about a month, so I won't have it with me.
Is it possible to move my boot drive (480GB SD) from my main computer, into a laptop for travel?

just clone the drive ^^

have you checked out Chrome Remote Desktop?

Sadly, you're both missing the point.
I'd clone the drive if there wasn't anything I wanted on the laptop drive, but there is. And Chrome RDP would work if I was going to have a stable internet connection, and I won't.

So my question still stands, is there a way I can make my laptop boot from this drive, without wiping it. Like, I take it out of my main computer, but it in my laptop, have it boot, and then put it back in my main computer after my trip is over. And the reason other reason cloning won't work is because I can't connect both the drives at the same time, and I do kinda want the data on the old laptop drive.

It depends (mainly because installed drivers and registry entries), but it's possible.

If your laptop isn't and old potato give a try, you might need to install drivers if it boots.

 

I've tried, it's a 2013 ASUS laptop. Either I'm really really dumb, or it doesn't see it as a boot drive.

 

 

Thank you for the help so far, though!!
