I would not recommend trying to use an external drive to install games IF the installer will even let you do so. Speed of that format is going to cause issues with load times and so on. Use the external drive for basic data storage to free up room for the game(s) or consider another internal drive.

Thanks for your answer.
What can I do then?
I look at: PCGameBenchmark_Detector, and they say when check about my PC can run the games. They say the recommendation is at least 125GB free on the HDD It's therefore i want to ask about SSD...
