Hello,
I recently purchased an external SSD so I can install Boot Camp on it and play my Windows games. I can't install Boot Camp on my Macbook because there is not enough space. I've seen some guides on how to do this and thought it should be a smooth sail, oh boy was I wrong...
I followed 9to5mac.com's guide and went great until I got to the final part, selecting a Startup Disk and booting Windows. Mac didn't see my external drive as a bootable drive. I used command + R to bypass external storage device protection and there's still no joy. SSD doesn't show up on Startup Disk section. At this point, I gave up.
It looks like it used to be easier to do this however I'm desperate at the moment because there's no up-to-date source on doing this, so I'm back to square one.
If anyone has an up-to-date guide on how to go about this process, I'd be very happy. Thanks in advance.
