External SSD as alternative to dual booting from the same internal SSD?

Hi, welcome to the Qubes community!

Indeed, multibooting is a security risk, because the other operating system could compromise the whole Qubes installation. One possible mitigation is Anti-Evil-Maid. Also, there was recently a discussion about other possibilities of verified boot on Qubes.

By the way, Windows can work in a Qubes VM, although gaming can only work with GPU passthrough.
