No USB3 driver. Using the USB2 cable reduces transmission capacity and defaults to USB2.

See my post above.

I gave Macrium a try and like it. I was using the Rescue USB that I created, so OS would not be active during the process. The external USB 3.0 drive still has to be connected to the PC USB 3.0 port with a USB 2.0 cable for it to be reconized. I know the transfer speed is reduced with the USB 2.0 cable, which is not a problem because I don't do backups that often. With this cable, is the available current 900ma. from the 3.0 port or will it be scaled back to 500ma. (USB 2.0)? My external drive requires 700ma. and do not want to under power it.

I have a Y - cable (USB 2.0). The only one I could find was a unbranded one made in China. The connectors fit so loose I have been hesitant to use it. I was hoping the power supplied by the 3.0 port would be the same and only the data speed would be reduced with the 2.0 cable.

Update. I made a new Rescue USB on a Win8.1 PC with the external usb drive connected directly to the 3.0 port and now the drive is recognized on the Win10 & Win8.1 PC. I don't know if the Win8.1 had different usb drivers or the external drive being plugged in caused the Rescue USB to install the 3.0 drivers for it during the build.

The tutorial is now accessible only to VIP members. An administrator told me the following:

Google is flagging the attachment in the first post as dangerous, so I've had to move the tutorial out of public view.

I don't know that I have the ability to write dangerous codes.

Have you checked your 7/2021 Matthews Preference file through Virus Total lately. It now shows four hits and two of them are with Kaspersky and Zone Alarm. Might be something in the new code that they see as malicious. Just a thought. I'm going to miss the CMD/VBS Scrip thread.

When you have access to the VIP section, you can see the thread again:
