To close this out...
  Two days ago, a Macrium article you referenced indicated that your 
original expectation that a Macrium clone to a USB connected disk was not 
bootable media.
  i.e. after cloning the primary Windows disk(or its selected partitions) 
to a USB connected disk that same USB disk is not a bootable option.

Do you now understand the difference(after input from multiple sources) 
between imaging and cloning:
  Imaging your Windows partitions -for backup/restore purposes
vs.
  Cloning - primarily for one of three options - upgrading[replacing a 
disk with a larger one or replacing the disk with a new disk or moving 
everything from one computer to another computer

Y/N?

If yes, are you now ready to use Macrium Reflect Free(or any other 
Macrium version) to image your disk?

If yes, do you also realized that if you use Macrium to image Windows(and 
its 4 GPT partitions) to a USB connected device, that device will also 
***not be bootable***.  It will be available for restoration(everthing 
imaged/all or individaul partitions), restoring/copying individual files, 
or just inspection when neeeded?
