I personally see no problems at all if you do just a manual backup of files and don't rely on any special software of any kind or on Windows Backup. I would just label the files with one being Desktop and the other being Laptop. Have a nice day!

Follow hedgeclippers advice and make sure you're not trying to exceed the capacity of the drive.
Shouldn't be a problem.
