Trados on Mac Book via Boot Camp

I am trying to download Trados 2015 onto my Mac Book Pro. Windows is already installed via Boot Camp, however Boot Camp seems to use up all available disc space so I cannot download the software... Is there any chance I can download Trados to an external harddrive and use it from there?

    If you don't have enough space left on your Windows disk partition, this means that the size you chose for the Bootcamp partition when you installed is is too small.

    You may use Studio from an external drive, but this might be slow. Personally, I would not recommend it.

    The preferred solution is to go back and change the size of your Bootcamp partition, because even if you install Studio on an external drive, you will again face the problem of insufficient disk space sooner or later (temporary files, log files, etc.)

    P.S.: In order to find out who to resize your bootcamp partition without the need to recreate it and reinstall Windows, do a Google search with these words "how to resize bootcamp". You'll find various proposed solutions. My hint: make it big enough!
