can I run ms word from an external ssd

My new Imac takes forever to load programs. Can I use MS Office and Adobe CC leave an external ssd?

When you install programs, you can specify the location of drive and the directory of the installation. However, an SSD may speed up things a bit, but the time to load application is more memory and hard drive that dependent dependent processor. Which iMac model you have and how much memory is installed? In addition, stop your virus protection if everything is running and all programs running in the background.

  • Run Windows 10 from an external SSD drive? Yes, it works!

    That's what I did to make it work. The whole process takes about 45 minutes, but I think that it really is worth it if you want to run quick and clean Windows 10 on your iMac.

    What you need:

    • An SSD external - data is deleted
    • An iMac 27 "(end of 2013 in my case)

    Temporarily, for the installation, you will also need:

    • A computer with Windows 7, 8 or 10 to copy the correct files on the SSD drive and make it bootable
    • A computer running with OS X download BootCamp
    • A USB - data is erased

    First, in Windows, you get a file ISO for Windows 10. You can use the media to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 authoring tool and choose to save it as ISO file (do not create a USB bootable media).

    1. Double-click on the. ISO file. This will mount the disk to install on a disk (in my case, the letter E).
    2. Connect the SSD drive to a free USB port
    3. Open an administrator command prompt and type:
      1. DiskPart
      2. list disk (to identify your external SSD drive number)
      3. select disk 2 (or another number to your external SSD drive, make sure you do not erase your internal drive, usually on 0).
      4. clean - be careful, if you have selected the wrong disc, erase all the data on it
      5. create part pri
      6. Quick format
      7. assign letter = O (or another letter if already used)
      8. assets
      9. output
      10. DISM/apply-image /imagefile:"E:\sources\install.esd" / index: 1 /ApplyDir:Y:------(change E to another letter for the ISO file mounted)
      11. BCDBOOT. EXE Y:\WINDOWS/s Y:/f BIOS (so that the boot in the BIOS only drive (not EFI))
      12. output
      13. Eject all disks properly or simply shut down your PC.

    Then on your Mac, open the wizard BootCamp (click on Launchpad and type "bootcamp" to find) and check ONLY "download the latest software of Apple's Windows support. Save it on your USB thumb drive. Stop your iMac. Remove the USB key and keep it in your hand.

    Turn on your iMac by pressing the option (alt) key. You will see an orange icon with Windows. Select this option and wait until you see 'Getting ready devices', wait a little longer until you hear the startup chime and press the option (alt) key to make sure that start you on the external hard drive. That's all!

    Now you have a copy of Windows from your external USB drive. You just need to install the BootCamp drivers on your USB (\Bootcamp\Setup.exe). Reset.

    Oh, you have 10 Windows running natively on your beautiful iMac.

    Enjoy!

    The answer is in the response. I don't know how to post a tip!

  • This virtual machine may have been moved or copied during the priming two different Macs from the external SSD drive

    I am using this SSD external boot drive to start two different iMacs at work and home, making all my stuff to update this SSD.

    The order of placement of the options in the .vmx configuration file are not relevant as long as each is on its own line.

    On the other hand, I hope than boot from SSD external drive to start two different Macs (one at work and one at home) will not break she like says dlhotka.

    The main issue will be the differences between the CPU and according to what difference, say a Core 2 Duo vs Quad Core this by itself may be sufficient to trigger WPA on a Windows Virtual Machine.   Like many a Client in Mac OS X or OS X Client that shouldn't be a problem however with Mac OS X Server or OS X Server so that I moved it with a Core 2 Duo vs Quad Core, I have not had problems yet but the haven of the exhaustive tests with the server version.  I think it will go well, however, we should always do... maintain appropriate backups!

  • Why I can't run iTunes as a disc external HARD...?

    Hello

    I copied the iTunes library from my laptop computer based on Windows to a HARD drive.

    Since my Macbook Air that I bought just only 128 GB of flash drive, I don't want to copy the iTunes in the Macbook Air.

    Then, I pressed down option when I launched iTunes.

    I then select the iTunes library located on the external HARD drive. And I got this error message:

    "ITunes Libraray.itl file is locked on a locked disk or you do not have permission to write to this file."

    -What it means and how to solve this?

    Thanks and greetings

    Install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer or the Finder, choose utilities go to menu and use disk utility to erase the drive, Mac OS extended (journaled) specification, MS-DOS or exFAT as you wish.

  • How can I remove a Word from the dictionary of the email, I put in the misspelled word and asked him to accept (a mistake)

    I'd been a change and then accidentally hit accept 'because' I would like to delete this word

    In Vista, OE was renamed Windows Mail.  You want the UserDictionary.lex file that contains the added words.  It is located in the top of the page the base directory of Windows Mail messages, which can be found via Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Storage folder (the default location is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail) or you can just search for *.lex, and then you can open the file in Notepad and find the word, then delete it.  See here for background information: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm

    I use microsoft outlook 2007 and need to communicate with people who only use microsoft works.  I found microsoft works on my laptop hard drive but do not know how to activate it.  All files in microsoft works are .dll extensions.  Is there an extension that can be added to those recognized by Outlook or do I need to use both systems separately?  Ideas are welcome.

    I did some research and aparently you must republish the same answer for me to be able to show your answer as being correct (for some reason, it is not editable)

    Answer:

    You can launch an application Java to the main thread by calling Application.launch, but you can call it only once per process or an exception will be thrown:
    http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/application/application.html#launch%28Java.lang.class, %20java.lang.String...%29

    ---------

    Partners:

    The cycle of life and the management of threads that run user by the JavaFX application code is documented in the javadoc for JavaFX Application:
    http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/API/JavaFX/application/application.html

    Conditions of application output is kept by Platform.setImplicitExit:

  • Can I boot Vista OS from an external USB drive

    Hi, I would like to install Vista on an external drive (USB) and start since that occasionally, while keeping XP on the internal drive. Is it possible please. I realize I need to change the boot order in the BIOS.
    I know that I could create a dual internal boot but want to retain as much as possible on the internal drive that I won't only rarely need to use the dreaded Vista of space.

    Thank you

  • My iMac can boot from an external drive?

    Hello

    I have an iMac 21.5 "Mid 2010 which starts to show its age with slowness. However, I plan to upgrade the Basic 4 GB of Ram either 8 GB or 16 GB of Ram, depending on price... and my main question.  I know that the Mac came initially with a 500 GB hard drive and I would also like to upgrade to an SSD because they make a world of difference from what I've heard, but I don't have the level of skill tech to do the steps together 20-30. I wonder, as I have a 1 TB USB SSD externally, if I could install a new version of Mac OS X on the SSD USB and then set it as my boot drive and just keep still plugged. Would this work or startup disk must be internal rather than external via USB?

    Your iMac can be set to boot from an external drive. Just install OS X on the SSD and SSD drive as your boot disk in System-> startup disk Preferences.
