I used Windows To Go[0] and you could put Windows 8 on an SSD or even a USB flash drive. I used to get random blue screens of death from this however, so stopped using it. Also: WTG is no longer supported by Microsoft, so we can't use it anymore. I like your hack of attaching an SSD to a VM. How do you do that though? Is there some procedure for doing that? I'd love to know! [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_To_Go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_To_Go

Attaching a physical hard drive to a VirtualBox VM was straight forward back in the day. First guide I found is this: https://superuser.com/questions/495025/use-physical-harddisk-in-virtual-box#756731 https://superuser.com/questions/495025/use-physical-harddisk... However, making it possible to boot windows without the VM required some hacks and I neither know if they work for modern windows too nor what they were exactly.
