If I mount a portable hard drive as a folder in Windows 10, can I still use that drive as a portable drive on another computer?
Solution 1:
Unplugging the drive requires for it to be dismounted first.
If you use it on another computer without dismounting first, you risk the meta-data on the disk getting out of sync with the version stored in the computer memory.
Mount the disk again after plugging it in.
Solution 2:
Yes. Mount settings are stored by the OS, not in the filesystem that's being mounted.
