With a Windows PC, can you boot from an external drive? If not, can you run programs from
an external drive?
I do this with my Mac, and run Windows inside VirtualBox, but don't usually use my
husband's PCs. If I plan to install the hard drive in the computer, I'll run it bare using
a drive adapter [USB <-> SATA/ATA] for a short time until I have a chance to install the
drive permanently.
You may be able to do this on a Dell.
