Hi: That portable hard drive is USB 2.0 is the port on the laptop USB 2.0 can you use a memory stick to transfer files from the one lap top to the other lap top then on to the external drive.

You should not even try to install an operating system on an external drive. Windows looks at the "C" drive and installs programs to "C" drive. You are trying to put it on the "G" drive. You will have too many problems and wish you never had tried. Buy a larger main drive and partition it with two equal partitions. Then "Dual Boot". You will find how to do this on the internet. Just Google "Dual Booting".
