You can create a bootable drive and use it on both your PCs. Installing Ubuntu or another OS on it allows you to switch between systems easily. Be aware of driver compatibility and potential issues, but cloning a PC or using a bootable setup is a viable solution. Let me know if you need more details!

Linux is smooth. Windows adds some uncertainty.

That sounds good! I’ll try Ubuntu and check how it performs.

Ensure the drive remains active during operation.

Install directly onto the disk, that would be a better option.

Consider trying Ubuntu, but disconnect any drive on your PC during installation and connect it to an external drive. Then install the bootloader on that external drive, which will start any computer it boots into. It’s a great setup—I only keep my external SSD in my pocket.
