Hi guys, basically as the title says I want to make external SSD drive with “Windows to Go” for the stuff that I really need Windows for unfortunately (proprietary CAD software) but there is no software for making this on Linux that I can find

Edit: typo

    Have you ever tried running Solidworks or Fusion 360 or Ansys or other Autodesk software in a vm? Painful is all I can say

      Yes.

      On my virt host, which I pass the GPU to. I remote into it from my laptop.

      I have a client running both Solidworks and Fusion 360 in VMWare Workstation with GPU pass-thru enabled, it’s pretty straightforward to setup and the end-users were pleased with it’s performance. If you have USB license keys those usually work as well, just setup the USB device pass-thru.
