First, we need to download Raspberry pi Imager from the Raspberry homepage
After downloading, install it and open it
Next, plug the SSD into the computer via a sata to usb adapter. You should back up important data in the SSD before continuing.
Next, we go to Raspberry Pi to select parameters to create settings
You can custom settings if needed
Select yes to start the installation process
Next, go to disk management or drive management applications to change the partition letter
Right click on the partition named bootfs and select change drive letter
Next we select Add , select the drive letter in the list and click ok
We will go to the bootfs drive, we look for the file named config.txt
Open it up and we scroll down to the bottom of the text and add this code program_usb_boot_mode=1
Save and open the disk management application, we will delete the bootfs partition letter
So we have created it, now let's disconnect the USB, plug it into the USB port of the raspberry pi and turn it on. Good luck
