I got a small Lenovo Yoga 300-11IBR laptop, that came with Windows 10 installed on a rotating rust 500GB hard disk. After two days of playing with it, I removed the original internal hard disk and replaced it with a 250 GB SSD and installed openSUSE 15.0 on it, which is working fine.
The original hard disk I placed on an USB 3 enclosure for extra storage, and possibly to boot Windows if needed.
Alas, W10 does not boot. It tries to, I see the rotating dots patterns characteristic of Windows, then it stops and boots Linux instead. I don't think it is a license issue, it would say so.
It is not that important to boot Windows, but as I have it, it would be nice to have double boot. There is one setting that I apparently can only adjust on Windows, the battery charge limit.
Ideas?
I would never expect Windows to adapt to being moved to a different bus type (USB from SATA). What I think would stand a chance is eSATA, if a laptop has such a port, if that port is driven by the same I/O chip (same ATA bus) as the internal storage. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
