recently got a computer from a famiy member and the C drive only has 200GB of storage, i have more then enough storage space on external USB drives but they cant run .exe files very well especially video games so i need a new SSD
should i buy an external or internal one? is there a meaningful difference in speed? obviously an external SSD would be way easier to work with and im not very tech savy but im willing to work with an internal one if needed
my main problem is that a lot of apps are forced to be on an SSD and ones that dont keep crashing when i install them on a USB drive
and can you transfer the OS from one SSD to another? a lot of apps are forcing the install location to be on the same drive as the OS so if install a new SSD can i safely transfer it to it?
and is it secure to put the OS on an external drive?
