Can Windows 10 be installed on eSATA spinner HD?
I'm in the process of downloading Win 10 latest ISO. Can it be installed on an eSATA spinner HD as standalone, or must it be installed over existing OS such as Vista, 7 or 8?

I think yes, you can install Windows 10 on eSATA external drive. Just plugin the drive to your computer, go to BIOS and make sure that eSATA drive is set as the default device to boot. You may be asked for drivers during install, so make sure you have them.

#Vladimir Thanks for the input. Have since installed successfully on eSATA, and set BIOS first boot to this drive.
Couldn't find my 2nd storage SSD HD in Computer. Went to Disk Management, and it didn't have a drive letter assigned to it. Gave it a drive letter and now all good. Can access various drivers, programs, personal data, etc.
