i have used paragon software- free  for doing this
however, before starting, check how much space is occupied on your PC, as Dr Klahn suggested !

another similar one is aomei backupper : https://www.aomeitech.com/aomei-backupper.html

if the image is too big for the stick - copy all data to another disk, or stick
I prefer the truly free and Opensource RedoBackup tool which is basically a GUI for partclone (also used in CloneZilla)

The Macrium Free is another good tool. It compresses the data to save space.
