[opensuse] Install Leap 42.3 on a USB booted disk?
Hello, my old trusted laptop from 2007 is capable of booting from a USB disk. I first build in the disk and made the first installation of Leap 42.3 (dual boot with Windows). Then I moved the HDD to a USB case and let the laptop boot to that USB connected disk. Everything looks fine. Question: if I go on with installation on the USB booted disk are there any caveats/bugs/peculiarities I have to pay attention to? Any no go's? After completion I want to move the USB booted HDD back to the laptop as main HDD . Is it possible to do that with a SSD (which is running as main disk in the laptop now) also? Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any problems with the above.

Some new generation SSDs don't speak SATA. (Google NVMe SSD) If your SSD speaks SATA, just put it in a SATA/USB case. If your SSD does speak SATA, I'm pretty sure there aren't any SATA/NVMe adaptor cases, so you're out of luck.
