Cloning USB Drive

MSoft have this media tool that lets you download and install Windows 10 Home onto a USB stick, a bit like the ISO to DVD. Once its done if you try and copy the contents to another USB it doesn’t work.
I wanted to find out if you could just clone the USB from one to another and if so what is the best method for doing this?
Thank you

The reason it wouldnt work is how the program makes USB self bootable.. I dont know enough about cloning to give a precise answer, as well as how devices are made self bootable other then using progs to do it for me… but I guess it would depend on one factor, how the USB is made bootable to begin with, pretty sure it wont work, but could be wrong depending on the program used…
Best example I can think off was at a point you couldnt clone a cd and have it work with out a no cd crack.. That was a while ago though…

The reason I ask is because its just annoying if I want to create multiple USB’s of this W10 and if I cant clone it then I have to redownload the same file again to USB meaning another 3gb
