How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer

I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.

I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.

Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?

Thank you.

You do not have.  Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).

You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system.  Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums.  A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)
