How risky is to install windows on external hard drive?

i have a hp laptop which currently has no HDD installed into it,so i decided to install windows to my Western Digital my passport 2TB external hard drive.



i found two article on how to install windows on external hard drive.



one using the waik and one easy install with wintousb(both article available on into windows website).




now in both article at some point it says i shoud format the hard drive.



so my first question is can i make another partition separate from my data partition on the same hard drive and use that as windows partition without losing any data ?



secondly what are the chances that my data gets lost at some point(consider that i have no backup of my data and the data is much more crucial then having windows) ?



i currently have Ubuntu 15.04 install on the same external hard drive on it's own partition.
