I find this tutorial to install Windows 10 is useful for creation of Windows to Go USB Disk on SSD Drive.

But there are some points to note as below:
(1) I used a windows 10 machine and the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to create the windows.iso which includes the latest 2019 update of Windows 10. The created iso image Windows_10_1909_EN_64bits.iso can be downloaded here.
(2) Samsung T5 is good with 2 cables USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C. It has 500GB, 1T and 2T options.
(3) The WinToUSB Free Version can only create partition Home Edition and Education Edition of Windows 10 to the external HD. For Win 10 Pro Version you have to purchase the Prof or Enterprise License. For partition option, the free version could choose GPT for UEFI, the more flexible option MBR for BIOS and UFEI is only available for Prof version. The external HD partition will be erased and not kept if these 2 options are chosen. You have to use other re-partition software if additional FAT volume needed
(4) The Boot Camp Windows Support files are copied to the external HD in Public Folder so that drivers can be installed right after external HD Windows 10 boot up.
(5) For MacBook with one USBC port, have to prepare a USB-C hub and a wired mouse for initial windows setup, as the MacBook keyboard and mouse do not work at all initially.
(6) Windows 7 Key or 8 product key (box version / retail version / education version) can be used for clean install of Windows 10.
(7) I used 32 bits Windows 8 Pro Education Edition product key to activate this clean installation of Windows 10 and now become Windows 10 Pro 64 bits version.
To do list
(1) To shrink the NTFS create a FAT32 partition for transferring data between Mac and Windows. Solution : Use IM Magic Partition Resizer (Windows software)
(2) Use Tuxera ntfs ($15) for macOS for write access to NTFS partition.
(3) Use the Mac OS experimental support for writing to NTFS drives. But not recommended as reference from here https://www.howtogeek.com/236055/how-to-write-to-ntfs-drives-on-a-mac/
