I have a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 10 installation on it, and try to copy the USB flash drive to another one as a backup. Can't just copy and paste in File Explorer, so do you have any good suggestions?
To create a copy of the bootable USB drive on Windows 10, using the copy and paste feature doesn't help because it doesn't copy the bootable sectors.
To make it successful, you must clone to create a copy of a bootable USB. Windows system doesn't offer a direct drive cloning function, so you need to seek help from third-party software. EaseUS Todo Backup is featured as the fastest and easiest tool to create a USB image on Windows 11/10/8/7 computer. It will clone the USB drive to another one, including the bootable sectors.
