Bazzite Rog Ally X: Boot into Windows from external ssd
Hi! Here is what I did:
- Bought Asus Rog Ally X and a 2TB Gen4 SSD
- Removed the SSD the Ally X came with (with Windows installed, I did activated and made updates to Windows & Rog Ally from it)
- Installed the new 2TB SSD and did a fresh Bazzite install (not dual booting). Also, disabled Secure Boot from bios and made the Bazzite install.
- Placed original SSD with Windows in external SSD enclosure
- Tried to boot into Windows by plugin external enclosure to Ally Rog... But it boots into this BitLocker thing. Restarted, went back to bios and enabled back Secure Boot on it, restarted but same thing.
- Logged into my Microsoft account (the one I activated Windows with on the Ally X initially) and was able to get a long numeric code which supposedly unlock the BitLocker thing. Coded was entered correctly, but when it restarts, it logs back into a blue screen saying that it can't log into Windows.
I'm stuck there. My questions:
- Is it possible to boot into Windows the way I want to do it? (through external enclosure)
- What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for help!
