Macrium Reflect (free) can make an image of your system as it is now to an external HDD. It can also make a Macrium recovery usb that you boot from to restore that image. That mean you can always go back to your working computer should you have problems.
In fact, regularly imaging your system is a sensible precaution in any case. What of your working computer should the hard drive die? With a system image you could replace a dead drive with a new one, restore the image, and carry on as if nothing had happened.
