How To Startup Repair Win7 Located on an External Device
Hello
I've taken an SSD from an old laptop, which I no longer have access to.
I've mounted the SSD via external USB on my new laptop. I am able to boot Linux from the external disk.
When I launch Windows 7 from the external disk, the load begins but BSODs.
I then boot Win7 Installer from a flash USB, click the Repair option, but I get the error message that the versions of windows are not compatible. Probably it is detecting Windows 10 which is on an internal drive and skipping the external disk that I want to repair.
Is it possible to do startup repair on an external disk when running the Windows Installer/Repair from another external flash ?
Thanks for any support
