@rosawoodsii,
Creator's Update is just the latest major build of Windows 10. You don't "need" it, but the more you put off the major updates, the further behind your system will become and eventually Microsoft will stop supporting the version of Windows 10 that you stay on (in a couple of years). You say you've read several threads about problems caused by Creator's Update - but remember there are more than 400 million devices running Windows 10. One has to assume that many millions of those devices have automatically updated to Creator's Update with no problems (including the dozen computers on my home network). People don't typically post on forums just to say they have no problems.
Macrium Reflect is probably the BEST choice for imaging. Remember, though, the backup image is only as good as your ability to restore it, so make sure to create a rescue drive for Macrium Reflect and that your computer will boot from it.
