Is it possible to run Windows 10 installed on a external HDD in different computers? Super User community.  TL;DR: I have MacBook Pro Retina 13" as my laptop computer, and also a desktop computer in my home. Desktop has AMD HD 6950 GPU, will I suffer performance?  As I'm a developer, now I need to have Windows 10 in both of my computers. I already have it on my desktop, there is no problem with that (although it is Windows 7), however I never altered booting options in a Mac until now (I had used virtual machine software in OS X).  The thing is, I want to use same HDD in both computers. I've bought an SATA SSD and an external hard drive connection box -did I made something intelligent or dummy here?-, as Mac's 128 GB Flash Drive does not fulfill my needs. The desktop also has its own HDD (not an SSD).  I know it is possible to install Windows 10 to this SSD and run on both devices, but the problem is, does driver difference make any kind of problem? I have an AMD HD 6950 graphics card in my desktop, will my kids be able to play games without any hassle?  Performance is no object in Mac, SSD will be connected via SATA3 to desktop and USB to Mac.  Thank you.  EDIT: Oh, I forgot the Windows version (probably it doesn't matter), it's Windows 10 Enterprise.
How to run Windows 10 from an external hard drive? I am currently able to boot from an external drive or multiboot USB. Taking this concept one step further, I have 3 questions:   1) Is it possible to install and run Windows 10 on a portable external hard drive or USB card with the same functionality of being installed on the internal drive?   2) Is it considered legal to do so or will it affect Windows updates in any way?   3) What are the steps to do that? (please outline steps I can follow so I don't lose a drive in the process). :)  EDIT: My question deals specifically with Windows 10, the legality and method of making it a standalone OS running from an external device and what effect if any it has on Windows Update; questions not dealt with in the other question.

A 2D game called Deer Hunter has projectiles like this:    Are the projectiles 2D or 3D models? How could I implement something similar? Can sudo be reinstalled after being removed? I need to end my visa waiver period when leaving States to Canada so that I don't exceed the period of 90 days. But form I-94 is no longer a physical card, it's only online.  How do I know or ensure that it will be terminated and will not continue counting the days once I leave to Canada? Rotate Geographic map reference variable In some text it is given that we can't assign constant values to a reference variable. When I executed such a program I could do it. Is there any condition we can't assign a constant value to a reference variable? I just downloaded a DVD which is for a movie. After uncompressing the DVD file I see .VOB, .IFO and .BUP files. If I open the first .VOB file it shows me the DVD menu but I can't interact with it. So, my question is... is Totem able to play those kind of files? If so, how can I achieve that? What other app could I use in order to reproduce those files?  Edit  Using VLC didn't work neither. I forgot to mention I have already tried that. Let me rephrase: if I open the first video file it shows the DVD menu, BUT I can't interact with it. In blender cycles render engine, how do I put a movie clip on a plane so it displays the video? I want the video to be on the plane if there is a way. To show for following sequence $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = 0$ where $a_n$ = $1.3.5 ... (2n-1)\over 2.4.6...(2n)$ How can I show   $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = 0$  $a_n = {1.3.5 ... (2n-1)\over 2.4.6...(2n)}$  I have shown that $a_n$ is monotonically decreasing. I thought to shown sequence is bounded from below then it automatically would converge and hence my question will be solve. But I'm unable to show its boundedness... Or there maybe another method to prove this. Thanks Every countably generated sigma algebra is generated by a random variable Safest way to transport a laptop during flight I flew a long range flight carrying my laptop, a quite heavy one, inside a neoprene briefcase in the passenger cabin. The recommendation by the aircrew was to place it in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of me. However, during take-off and landing, the vibrations on the plane are quite strong and, as a result, it received minor damage.   Placing them in the overhead compartment might be equivalent to placing it on the floor under the seat, with the added issue of additional luggage in the compartment shifting.  I considered the alternative of holding the laptop by the handle while sitting, so it won't be any contact with the aircraft's floor. This is impracticable during cruise, but I thought it could be better during the take-off and landing segments. Another option I considered is to wrap it with completely with bubble wrap before boarding the plane.   Which is the safest way to transport a laptop during flight? I have seen a "Universal Laptop Adapter" sold in a computer shop before. I am thinking of getting one for a laptop. Is it safe to use? What differences are there between one of these and a typical laptop adapter? Did all Headmasters get a portrait in Hogwarts? Throughout the Harry Potter series, we see that deceased Headmasters of the school get a semi-sentient portrait of themselves in the Headmaster's Office, at the service of the current Headmaster. Do all Headmasters get a portrait? What are the conditions of getting one? For instance, there are a couple of times when Dumbledore is temporarily deposed as Headmaster: Dolores Umbridge takes over the job in Order of the Phoenix, and Minerva McGonagall takes the job in Chamber of Secrets and Half Blood Prince. Will Umbridge and McGonagall have portraits in the Headmaster's Office when they expire? I am using setInterval(fname, 10000); to call a function every 10 seconds in JavaScript.

There is no need to install Biber manually any more, it can simply be installed via the Package Manager just like other packages.   The question  describes how to use Biber with MiKTeX. But on the 64-bit version of MiKTeX Biber isn't installed.  How it is possible to install Biber on a 64-bit version of Windows?  Can I use this ? Can I configure it to allow:   select right-click to copy right-click or ctrl-v to paste? I've read a lot about PCA, including various tutorials and questions (such as , , , and ).   The geometric problem that PCA is trying to optimize is clear to me: PCA tries to find the first principal component by minimizing the reconstruction (projection) error, which simultaneously maximizes the variance of the projected data.    When I first read that, I immediately thought of something like linear regression; maybe you can solve it using gradient descent if needed.  However, then my mind was blown when I read that the optimization problem is solved by using linear algebra and finding eigenvectors and eigenvalues. I simply do not understand how this use of linear algebra comes into play.  So my question is: How can PCA turn from a geometric optimization problem to a linear algebra problem? Can someone provide an intuitive explanation?  I am not looking for an answer like  that says "When you solve the mathematical problem of PCA, it ends up being equivalent to finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix." Please explain why eigenvectors come out to be the principal components and why the eigenvalues come out to be variance of the data projected onto them  I am a software engineer and not a mathematician, by the way.
