The VCS works happily under Windows 10 or Ubuntu 20.04 with the standard 8GB, with 6GB+ free. To clear up the confusion for some people, Windows 10 on an external USB disk is easy and works. They just plug it in, and for most people that's preferable, but it's great that we have options! The external USB 3.1 SSD solution, because it does not require them to take the I recently put one in another machine, but I didn't want to move it, as it wasn't really needed right now. Android-X86 is the next one I really want to get working, but it may prove a dead-end too.Ĥ) I didn't have a spare one to-hand, and we're in lock-down, with all retailers except supermarkets, closed.Īt the moment, postal/carrier deliveries are still in a mess, overworked, and unreliable. Windows, Ubuntu, ChromeOS, andĪndroid-X86. ?ġ) I wanted to keep the internal disk as a common data disk, for AtariOS and the operating systems.Ģ) I like that just plugging in the external disk causes the VCS to automatically boot with it, no BIOS select.ģ) I personally want to try various systems, and switch between them. Oh, and I didn't use an M.2 because of 3 primary reasons. The problem is principally that it's an external 5TB hard-disk. This guy may have posted his video here also, but I link it again. It was not on my normal TV, but a small (22") test TV I had lying around, but it's still running at full HD.Īfter installation, it boots up as normal, and quickly with SSD. I made a quick photo of my screen to show my VCS running Windows 10 with Steam, and Tempest 4000. That's the need for the 3rd-party program. The issue is just that the Windows 10 installer has 2 things it does not like.ġ) It does not want to install on a removable device - usually that makes sense.Ģ) It cannot install on a UEFI secure setup, which is also on a USB disk. (I could have also partitioned the disk, and used Grub or Windows boot-manager, to switch between the O/S.Īs it was, I just wanted to have dedicated disks, as I had a couple of smaller SSD's spare, but no big ones.)
The previous evening, I installed my final Ubuntu 20.04 setup on a different USB SSD. I've not seen a doc talking about a virtual disk. No, it's not a virtual disk, it's installed directly on the disk. How do you add files to Windows if you do it this way?
Did you do the external drive method? If so, it looks like the docs have you install Windows as a virtual disk.
