Install Ubuntu On External SSD without Dual Boot
I have access to my dads laptop, we share it. I would like to use Ubuntu on it without affecting his machine. I dont want to dual boot since he is used to way the machine works. I have purchased an external SSD.
How can I install Ubuntu on that ssd such that when I connect the ssd to the laptop it boots in to Ubuntu and when unplugged it boots to Windows just like he is used to.
Thanks
