They are plug and play, there's zero difference to the integrated ports from the computer's point of view. Same goes for SATA cards and what have you.

I recently found an old HP gaming laptop and I noticed there's a bunch of HP software in the uninstall menu and task manager. How do I know which of it is bloatware I can safely remove and what is probably essential drivers and the like?

How can I check if a computer can boot from a certain disk without installing an OS to that disk?

from my perspective I would say pixel 10, but get the 9 pro (xl) if you can. 9 pro has a better camera than the base 10. my 9 pro xl lasts all day of heavy usage

If UEFI/BIOS sees the drive, it's usable for booting. Simple as.

Just use the reset this PC option and then download drivers from the manufacturer website if you need them

That explains it then. For some reason the drive I tried to install another OS on doesn't show up in UEFI/BIOS, but only in Windows. The bootable drive is only ~238 GB which is a pain to work with, no dual booting I guess.
