But how about those "true" hard disk drives that are connected via HDD enclosures? Are they legible for this? My current plan is uses a laptop hard disk with preexisting Windows 8 OS installed.

It would appear not. The list of compatible drives is in the FAQ referenced above Hardware considerations for Windows To Go. Answer updated.

True hardrives work perfectly... if you use eSATA. I even got an old copy of XP around on an eSATA based pendrive. Sadly USB is much more common and this might defeat your goal if one of the computer you want to use lacks this port.

@Hennes Yes, but do they work with Windows To Go?
