What size flash drive should I purchase? You’ve heard that Windows can be installed on a flash drive and used to repair a virus-infected computer. Many people ask how this works and whether a flash drive is suitable for carrying around. I’ll explain the size considerations and the process.

8GB would suffice; I’d opt for 16GB since the price gap is negligible and the additional storage could be useful.

I chose to purchase a 32GB device solely for additional storage capacity.

I also looked at Best Buy and they were about 11 dollars or less, which makes them affordable.

The smallest USB drive needed for Windows 10 Recovery is around 16GB, while most Linux distributions can work with as little as 8GB.
