I want to install ubuntu on external ssd pic related, but i heard it can cause windows 10 not to boot when it's ejected. How can I avoid that happening?

How would it do that?
Ubandoo will install a bootloader on the SSD, it won't touch your HDD unless you fuck around with the installation process.
Carter Young
It says it happens in this guide

I see.
This is going to happen if you have an EFI machine, it won't happen for legacy bios.
And if it does, you can just fix it, following the guide tbqhfam.
I wouldn't worry and just do it
Nicholas Gomez
How can i check if I have legacy or efi?
Evan Moore
I mean, did you not build your machine?

It's a laptop, t470
Adam Lopez
fucking underage retard
Jaxson Foster
ok, so it's efi, is there anyway to change into legacy?
Aiden Harris
Then it depends what mode was selected in the bios, since the t470 is an efi device with support for legacy bios. Just spam the ThinkVantage button on boot and look around in the bios.
I have a t420, and set it up to use legacy bios, to prevent issues with shitty efi.

You'd need to wipe your HDD and reinstall winshit.
Just use EFI, install Ubandoo following the guide and don't worry about it.
Nolan Harris
thanks. no thinkvantage button tho.
So changing to legacy will prevent windows not booting when external ssd with ubuntu is ejected?
John Barnes
I'd assume so, if you don't have EFI to overwrite and a MBR partitioning scheme not even the idiotic installer will try to do that.
You could save yourself the trouble and get a distro where you have actual control over the installation process.
Alexander Hernandez
b-but i want a secure os, isn't Sup Forums is all about it
Michael Rivera
kys you dual booting faggot
go to r/techsupport
Nathan Reed

Nathan Cox

>external SSD
It will probably have shit performance unless the devices you plug it into have USB 3.1 or USB C.
Parker Morales
usb c
Lucas Collins
USB-C is a type of connector, not a mark for any speed. You could have USB2.0 Type C connectors.
Nathaniel Brown
They're usually at 3.0/3.1 speeds though. I haven't found a 2.0 connector just yet desu. Unless they're on phones since I never tested phone connector speeds.
Camden Jones
It doesn't matter. Implying USB-C is any kind of indicator as far as transfer speed is concerned is extremely dumb and you should be ashamed of yourself.
