I've set up Windows 11 on an external 2.5" SSD for gaming, but it's causing issues because it doesn't boot through the adapter properly—it only works when connected to your PC's SATA port. Even then, I often need to restart and keep encountering the "INNACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error. I'm wondering if this is typical and whether using Rufus can resolve the problem.

A registry modification was likely necessary (edit). https://coastipc.com/blog/post/creating-...-usb-drive Rufus should work for USB booting 11. I’m not an expert, but it might have been a simple setup with 10/11 installed on a USB stick.
