So not a 'back up' at all.

That is just the created files - not an image of the OS !!

Perhaps the problem is that you are unable to describe what it is that you are doing.

First you wrote 'back up', so I pointed you towards a guide to backing up.

Subsequently it appears that you want to create bootable USB media, so I have pointed you towards a media creation tool.
Perhaps you have not even downloaded the image as of yet.
In which case...download the image and concern yourself with the creation the bootable USB media afterwards.
In other words....forget about the USB Flash drive for now.

I was trying MS DVD/USB creator to do the same thing as "Rufus" - but it doesn't like the Sansdisk drive for some reason, and neither does "Rufus" !!
Since Win 10 opens ISO Images (like a zip file) - it is difficult to create an exe - via selecting it (as in Win 7/8)

You really don't seem to know what you are doing. Why on earth are you referring to an .exe(application file)?

You are creating bootable USB media from an ISO image.

Are you running Rufus as Administrator?
