A USB drive is a USB drive, shouldn't be anything unusual or special about it.

Plug in your drive to a USB port

Open Control Panel

Click on File History

Click on System Image Backup

Click on Set up Backup

Select the drive to store your backup

Click Next

Click on Let Me Choose

Click Next

Uncheck Data Files

Check C:\ Drive

Click Next

Check your settings to make sure it includes C: drive and system image

Click on Save settings and run backup

That should do it. The system image takes about 1/2 to 1 hour

Create a recovery drive

in the action center settings, search for recovery drive

click on it and follow the instructions

That's for use when you can't boot your system
