Using old laptop hdd

I have an old laptop with a bad hd that still works but its not reliable. If like to use it to use it to do some word processing. If i save the word doc to a flash drive and keep the doc on that drive, set word to autosave every minute, if the drive fails, my doc should still be recoverable right? Since it wasnt stored on the hdd?

Cant afford to buy a new drive atm

if told to save every minute, it will only make a local file of the Word document, something that can be recovered. It's not until you hit Save that saves your document.
can you re-explain this? is setting it to save automatically every minute overwriting the word doc on the flash drive every minute?

Is there a way to make that recovery file save to the flash drive?
