I have a 2017 Touchbar Macbook Pro, so has 4 USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Rather than running bootcamp and splitting my inbuilt SSD drive into a MacOS partition and a Windows partition, I am considering getting this SATA-to-USB-C combination:
- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072R78B6Q/ or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073SBZ8YH/
- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0133F30R8/
Or simply a direct USB-C drive:
Then to install Windows 10 onto the drive, and boot into it from my Macbook.
Is this possible?

This is called Windows To Go, but this is officially only supported for Windows 10 Enterprise edition.
If you use the normal Windows 10 Home or Pro edition, setup a Windows 10 VM (if you are on Mac) and use Rufus to create a Windows To Go drive:
Now boot from that SSD connected via USB(-c) and use Windows.
