Hey there... I’ve got something to share. I’m using a Mac, but I really want to get into some games. Among Us is on my friends’ system, and Battlefield Vietnam isn’t running well because the game is outdated. Storage is tight, so I’m thinking about creating a portable boot drive—something like a 500GB or 250GB external drive. When connected to my Mac, I’d need to eject it so I can use normal space. I’m not super familiar with partitions yet, but I just got my PC last month. Any tips on how to set this up? Thanks a lot!

In theory it's possible, but it requires significant effort on the Mac side. You'd need to install a bootloader essentially like a recovery environment, and even then performance would be very poor. Not worth it.
