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.
