Tricking windows 10 install. (alien.top)

Is there a way to trick the windows 10 install into thinking an external drive is an internal drive? I have a kioxia that just will not be read by my framework 11 gen intel, no matter what I do. I've tried updating the BIOS, btw; just plopping the files onto a flashdrive and expecting it to boot off of it does not work at all.

You can use Rufus on another pc to install windows on that external SSD choosing the windows to go option in Rufus. Then you should be able to just plug it into the laptop and boot from it. Or just use Linux and you can install it on an external SSD
