Computer broke, salvaged the ssd. Now im trying to run Linux from an external ssd on a Windows 11 machine.
Long story short. My AIO computer busted and I cant use an external monitor anymore.
Salvaged the ssd, but I cant seem to get it to run from the external ssd. Last time I needed to do this I had to disable secure boot and almost locked myself out of my windows machine permanently. So im hesitant to do that again.
Do I need to disable bitlocker? Ive changed the boot order kn the bios and tried to run the ssd from a USB C port nothing seems to allow me to start into Linux? Zorin is kn the external drive.
I should have mentioned ive tried changing the boot order to USB first. This didnt work.
This is sort of important that I get figured out soon any help is great. Im not a software or firmware guy. Im not really a hardware guy either but I kind of got stuck now. Thanks
Edit: I go to the partition in windows and the drive only shows 1 partition on the disk. One 931.5 GB. No boot as far as I can see. Is this the issue?? How do I fix this?
