  1. Boot Linux Mint Installer
  2. Mount an external USB storage
  3. Open terminal and make a backup
sudo dd if=[path to 64GB Windows Storage] of="[path to external USB storage]/[filename.img]" bs=4096 status=progress conv=sync,noerror

Example: sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of="/media/mint/MyExternalStorage/Win10-d330.img" bs=4096 status=progress conv=sync,noerror

sudo dd if="[path to external USB storage]/[filename.img]" of=[path to 64GB Windows Storage] bs=4096 status=progress conv=sync,noerror
