Or what would be the purpose?
Do you understand that an external drive is nothing more than an internal drive in a case that has a power source and a USB controler? If you don't have room for a second drive in the desktop (I can't imagine a case not big enough for at least 2 drives) then Clone to the External drive. Then physically remove that drive from its external case and install it in the desktop in place of the C: drive. And your done.
Now you can put a new drive into the external case and still have that too.
