I believe I use windows 11 media creation tool to create the install for my new PC. How much storage space would my USB flash drive need to store the install data?
My USB is 20GB, attempting to load the W11 .iso file and every time says I need more space.

I am going to build a PC soon and am very anxious about the first boot. I am planning to buy a key from KeysFan and I do have a 15GB USB on hand so is that enough?
Getting a new usb would take a lot of time
Wondering how big of a USB stick I should buy for this matter ?
Hi everyone,
I have an 8GB USB drive, but its actual usable space is only 7.79GB. I want to use it to create a bootable USB for installing Windows 11. Do you think this would be enough, or should I look for a USB with a larger capacity?
Thanks for any advice!
I am currently building my first PC in which I want to use Windows 11 Pro.
I read that I should create a Windows 11 Bootable USB Flash Drive to install Windows 11.
I use the SanDisk Ultra Flair 32GB USB Flash Drive. The Drive had SanDisk Security Software Installer and some other files saved on it.
So I thought I should delete all of it to eventually only have Windows 11 saved on the drive.
I did delete by right click and only after that I saw the Format Option.
I read that FAT32 only supports read/write up to 4GB.
Now I am unsure which File System I should format it to to make sure that it will work.
Right now it is formatted to exFAT and has 288KB of Used Space.
Thank you for your help.
I want to make a bootable USB to install win 11, on the official site it says i need 8GB USB drive, it says 8GB on my flash drive but when I format the thing, of course it says 7.2 GB, is this fine for win 11 bootable USB? or do I need to get like a 16 GB stick?
I got a 8gb usb and it says it won’t fit Is that big enough?
Would this 256 gb drive be good or do i need more also
Also some one reccomend me a video on how to do it im completely new at this and like what i would need to do to re optmize my pc etc
Like absolutely everything dont leave anything out i dont want to mess up on this
Looking for a very small iso that can fit on a usb. All that needs to work is the browser, powershell and cmd> I did try making 1 myself except it crashes every time in a vm. Link me to a website containing a super lite iso. Preferably for windows 11 if not windows 10.
Thank You!
edit: im dumb at that i forgot to include the usb is 16gb and i need it for windows to go. i dont care how slow its gonna be i just need it to run for school lmao
Hey everyone,
I have just made my first PC. I am now trying to make a bootable USB but I keep getting an error saying there isn’t enough space?
It’s a brand new 32gb USB? Anyone have a solution? I never expected this to be the part that gave me any trouble 😂
Thanks!
I looked at my file explorer and it's said that my USB has 7.48GB of storage (empty USB). Can I use to create Windows 11 Installation Media? or does it really need to be over exactly 8GB?
Want to install Windows 11 on your shiny new laptop
Have a USB to do it
Fail on 1st attempt on pc cuz the pc had no ports except fucking headphone port
Try making bootable USB on phone with an ISO
Try it out in 2 days
Fail miserably cuz some shitty error while instalation
Try doing it on old laptop
The system minimal requirements are 64x based system (you have 32x)
Try doing ISO with old laptop
Realize Rufus is 32x but on windows 8 or above (you have win7)
Talk with cousin
She says she can borrow her new laptop to do it on hers
Be happy
Wait 2 days
Try doing it
"Wdym the pendrive has less than 8 gigs?"
Look at File manager
"5.73GB out of 5.74GB free"
Give up
UPDATE
So i have managed to buy another flash drive and do it on this one, i still have one question though, which is how to get the other flash drive back to original capacity.
after creating a bootable windows 11 usb drive can I still use that drive as a regular usb stick to store my files in separate folders? I do not want to cause any issues if I have to reinstall windows 11.
