Does a kinect v2 work on a portable windows 8 external hard drive?

I recently acquired a kinect v2, however I am currently running windows 7 on my computer.

I was wondering if I could use a portable windows 8 installed on an external hard drive to use my kinect on so that I wouldn’t have to disturb my main hard drive or SSD.

If I have to dual boot that’s fine, but I would prefer it if I didn’t have to.

Thanks.
