windows not boot external drives. think way keep people using same windows license in more 1 computer.
but can install ubuntu in external drive or make persistent live usb boot drive, , in ubuntu install virtualbox , in virtualbox create install windows 10. way windows in same [virtual] machine time, if virtual machine run on different hardware.
-o-
however, think asking problem, , think using tool winusb create windows install drive (in usb stick). seems there problems winusb , new versions of ubuntu, added feature mkusb-nox. see these links,
making usb drive install windows
if willing test new version better user interface, not yet tested much, , still in unstable mkusb ppa, can try according following link,
