You'll need a USB with enough capacity for the Windows 8.1 64-bit installation media.

A DVD holds around 4.7GB, and Windows runs smoothly on that size. Going up to 8GB would be ideal, or you could use an external optical drive when needed—it’s really convenient.

4GB would suffice, though 2GB might also work fine.

A standard Windows 64-bit ISO typically ranges from 3 to 3.5GB. A 4GB USB flash drive would be adequate.

Even though a regular DVD holds about 4.7GB, a Windows DVD only uses roughly 3 to 3.5GB of that space on the disc. That means it should work well with a typical 4GB USB flash drive.

AIO updates require 8GB memory modules, but a particular release might need only 4GB.

Verify the dimensions of WIN 8.1 OS. If it's under 4GB, 4GB should suffice. Otherwise, opt for 8GB. I suggest using a large USB drive for future needs.
