Question by Martin Joaquin A: How does saving programs in an external hard drive or a USB work?
I’m planning to buy an external hard drive, and I’m curious as to how does saving programs in it works. If I save, for example, Microsoft Word in it, will I be able to open Microsoft Word in whatever computer I plug the hard drive in, regardless if I’m signed in as an administrator or not?
No, I don’t mean files, I mean programs. Like Microsoft Word, or Mozilla Firefox, or Foxit.

I think you mean if you create a document with Word can you save to the external and have it open with another computer.
For that: yes if the 2nd unit has Word (or Open Office will also work).
The exception would be if the 2nd unit is ‘locked down’ real tight (by a network administrator) and doesn’t allow external drives do be utilized.
