Question Use ssd as usb stick?

[nerunp]

Hello. I just got a nvme drive and have a older 120gb sata ssd.
Can I use an windows ISO with rufus on the 120gb and in that way install windows in the nvme without an usb stick?

I 'think' you can....so far as I am aware, having the drive in an enclosure makes the PC see it the same way. To be honest though, I have never tried it. Almost have me curious enough to try.

You seem to be right on the edge of a sure fire way to find out.

Rufus is designed only to work with drives attached to usb ports. You would need another program designed to mount the iso onto an internal ssd.
