No. You can't boot off the USB drive just by dumping the files on it. You need to use the bootable USB creator - Microsoft provide one.
If you want to keep your files it's better to start the installer from within Windows and not boot off a separate device. The latter used to not allow upgrades at all.

Depends on how the drive is connected. Most USB drives would need a bit of tinkering to get Windows on it, eSATA et. al. would just work out of the box.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
What are peoples views on how to install Windows 10, either a clean install or over my 8.1?
My problem is if i do a clean install how will MS know i own Windows 8.1 which gives me a free copy of Windows 10 as you can upgrade to Windows 10 RTM from the insider version of windows 10!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Upgrade from 8.1 if it all works awesome if it does not just recover to clean install. Back everything up take images to go back to if it all goes wrong. I use backupper

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I liked it, but the one thing that made me scrap the dual install was the no connection to my TV. As someone who struggles with text at times, using the TV as a 1920 x 1080 monitor has really helped. Until 10 can ID my TV connected via HDMI then I will stay on 8.
