I've been running 180x off a USB SSD, and I've reclaimed the disk space that was formerly dedicated to a cramped bootcamp partition.
However, windows has been bugging me about my installation nearing "end of life". I downloaded the standalone update, and it informed me that it refuses to install onto a external partition...

Is there any way to upgrade my installation? Would a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure help my situation? Or has Microsoft closed off this loophole?
