Cloning my laptop hdd with aomei

[davemo]

Have downloaded the free version of aomei that allows disk cloning,I have a hdd given to me as the laptop screen had failed I have bought a sata docking station that allows usb connection. I also have 2 external hard drives that connect via usb.
When using the cloning software I can select my hdd but when I go to the next stage none of my usb devices are showing to select as the destination. I have read the help files which seem to suggest that a usb device can be used but I get the feeling that a usb device has to be prepared before use but the help files do not say how?
Can any one help?

Thanks for all your help,gave me a few ideas, I have created a dual boot so I can see if Win 10 works whilst keeping Vista .It does work ok even without a key just looking for what the limitations might be.

Limitation of an unactivated Win 10 are:

No customization of the desktop or taskbar
A randomly appearing nag text at bottom right. This overlays everything, incl games.

That's it.

I have a test install Win 10 Pro to check exactly this. Installed Dec 8 2016. 490 days.
Runs exactly as it did on Day 1.
