For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Chromebooks, unsurprisingly, use the Chrome operating system, not Windows. So applications for Windows won't run on a Chromebook, meaning that Autodesk 123 Design can't be used with it. (The program has also been discontinued by the developer, so any Windows download you might find for it will be from a third-party source and possibly full of malware).
Since Chrome OS and Android are both developments from the same basic source code, it's possible to run many (but not all) Android apps on a Chromebook:

So you'll need to seek out an app designed for use with Android (or specifically for use with Chrome OS).

The files on an external hard drive can be recognised by any operating system that works with that type of drive (and where those files are compatible with both operating systems). For example, if you've got all your family photos and videos on a Windows PC but you've decided to use a Mac in future, you can use an external hard drive to move the files between the two machines:

It would be unusual to actually have an operating system on an external device but it's not impossible. For example most Linux distros can be run using an external drive as a 'live CD' and it shouldn't be impossible to configure the BIOS of a computer so as to enable it to choose between different operating systems on an external drive.
