I made a "mirror image" of my hard drive on an external hard drive. When
I travel to my daughters can I take my hard drive to her house and boot
from this drive using her computer?

Thanks

I'd suggest the OP just copy his data files and take those with him. Of

his application installation software too. (Don't forget to uninstall before
leaving to return home.)
