high performance SSD is a must when booting from OS. While a high-capacity flash drive is inexpensive and technically viable, your performance will be terrible compared to the original. I installed Windows 10 on this external drive and use it to boot Windows when required by a Windows-only application. I don't like the situation but I LOVE the solution. If you are looking at this article for a similar purpose, it is amazing.
