Hello, I am currently having issues booting into Windows on the External SSD Drive. I used Winclone to clone the Bootcamp partition, then restored the image to the external SSD, injected the Apple SSD Driver. Restarting computer, I boot into windows, the windows logo comes up begins to load then Blue screen, Inaccessible_boot_device. I have restarted computer numerous times with the same results, I have added make EFI bootable, no luck, same scenario, tried legacy but that just states no bootable drive detected.
- @Allan I use an internal hard drive with an external ssd on my 2014 Mac mini as my boot drive. It always seems to locate the USB portion no matter what its physical descriptor is – Matthew Barclay Aug 17 '20 at 23:54.
- The list at the beginning states that Windows 10 is supported on Mac Mini 2012 and later. 'Later' would include 2018. Maybe something here that can help: If you see the alert 'Installation cannot proceed with Boot Camp configured' - Apple Support. This is unique to T2 chip enabled Macs, like the new mini.
Any suggestions on what to do please. I need to get back into my windows ASAP for work.
I have a 27 inch iMac Late 2013 with Internal SSD (which works fine for the Mac OS) I am on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5

This works for USB drives including the NinjaStik For 2018 to 2020 Macs with the Secure Boot T2 Chip, see the 2020 Macbook Pro Boot from USB instructions. A “startup disk” is a volume or partition of a drive that contains a bootable operating system. Plug in an external drive that you know is bootable. Go to System Preferences and Startup Disk. Click the padlock and enter your password, then try to choose that external drive to boot from.
Original bootcamp partition was part of the local (internal HD) partition. I upgraded the internal drive to an SSD Drive.
