Default Dump (?) USB Flash drive question

I'm getting tired of waiting for 1903. I have gone through all the reasons
Microsoft has for holding back, and none of them apply to me, except that I
have a USB dongle for my Logitech mouse.

My question is: if I use the Microsoft manual download program to download
to a Flash drive, and then later delete the upgrade file, will the drive
stll be bootable? I got a good deal on a 512gb Flash drive, and I'm
thinking I would like to make a bootable copy of my system ssd, so that if
anything goes wrong I can boot from that long enough to restore a Macrim
image. Please tell me-nicely-if it's doable, and,if so, if I'm an idiot for
wanting to do it.


1) margins are so thin in this industry that there is no
such thing as a deal. So your flash drive may go foo bar
on you. "Deals" means they are trying to rib themselves
of marginal/bad inventory

2) you have to run the make utility to get the download
on to your flash drive

3) once you are done with it, you can indeed reclaim your
flash drive, providing it hasn't gone foo bar.

4) if the Windows device manager won't let you do it,
you can have at it with aplomb from a Linux Live USB
with gparted. (Ping me on a new eMail on the subject line
for directions.)
