Since you want to clone your entire drive to a Bootable USB and boot from it, the traditional copy and paste is no longer suitable for you because of its limitations such as the bootable information and system files can not be cloned. Meanwhile, Windows does not provide the built-in disk cloning function. For this situation, you can use a professional disk cloning utility to clone the entire disk to another bootable USB easily.

Several third-party drive copy software can help clone the entire drive to a bootable USB drive. For this purpose, EaseUS Disk Copy is worth recommending as it offers powerful cloning features such as cloning drive partitions, system files, and all data.

This powerful disk cloning software from EaseUS is famous for its simple user interface and efficient cloning speed. It can clone an entire drive to another one and truly guarantee that the new Bootable USB has the same startup capability and data integrity as the original drive.

The steps to use EaseUS cloning software include:

  • Step 5. Click "Proceed" to start cloning, and wait to finish.

Before cloning, there are some tips:

  • The capacity of the target disk should be larger than the source disk to ensure that all the data can be transferred.
