Depending on your system, it may not be able to boot-up from that drive, but other than that, shouldn't be a problem. It would be better to take the OS off of it though. Just for the disk space.

As long as you have your PC configured to boot from your current HD and not the external one, it will be fine.
once it;s installed, just format the external drive. Do this after you have retrived anything off of it that you want to keep though :)

perfect, simplest, guess might want to be to hook up an exterior USBpersistent. it truly is slower, yet USB 2 is really quickly. when you position in the newpersistent, reproduction previous files files (pictures, track, etc.) out of your internalpersistent to the recent externalpersistent. upon getting a sturdy reproduction on the newpersistent, delete the files you do not choose from the internalpersistent. make positive you position in MS workplace on the internalpersistent! Even a quickly exterior disk is too sluggish to apply for application files.

sure but it is wasting space, about 4GB, that OS is using. Plus your computer may attempt to boot off USB devices, which would be annoying.

should be ok. if not, you can probably use fdisk to make it non-bootable.
