Sorry I took your questions in a direction you'd not intended. Can you install from USB? Certainly. USB won't care whether you attach a stick or a mechanical drive. How long can you use it without paying up? I've no idea. Microsoft.com will have the answer somewhere, though. And, maybe someone e

You've got a USB 3 port on that machine, no? I should think you'd prefer to use that with at least a 128 Gb USB 3 stick. I can tell you I'm running Linux using a 256 GB Sandisk USB 3 stick on my early 2014 Airbook. It's working quite well--though I'm not using the Linux graphical desktop mainly be

Hello, I’m considering running windows on my MBP mid 2014 machine running the latest OS Mojave. I have a few questions. Can I use an external hard drive in place of a usb 2.0 flash drive? How long can I run windows 10 for free before I have to purchase it? At what point can I begin using Narrator
