Copy OS Drive to another hard drive

I don't want to format my OS. But can I copy my current OS drive to a partition on another hard drive ?

I'm planning on using the hard drive that has the OS in my current PC in another PC.

Will Reflect do this for me ?

 

Copy PC contents to external hard drive

I have installed Windows 10 on my PC. Typically I back up the entire contents of my PC on an external hard drive. I once had a hard drive crash and learned the hard way about the value of complete external backups for a PC.

The procedure I used with Windows 8.1 does not seem to apply to Windows 10. Which item on this list "This PC, Desktop, Documents Downloads, Music Pictures HPLJP1000-1500 (C)" should I select to copy everything (including Windows 10) on my external hard
drive?
