do you mean if you can use the external SSD as an installation drive? yes

But before doing this i should delete everything from the external ssd right?

you'd have to do that as part of burning the image to be usable as an installation drive

But will I be able to use this external drive normally after installation?

You would need to reformat the drive back to normal

Yup but you'd need to reformat it for it to work again as an external ssd

Okay thanks I come back here and ask a question, if I connect this external ssd with the Bazzite system to my Windows PC after previously downloading the system to the handheld, will Bazzite not automatically install on the Windows PC?

If you connect the drive to a Windows PC and select the drive during boot it will start the Bazzite installer. But it will not automatically install nor will it automatically boot the installer. You'd need to select the drive from the BIOS like normal
