I recently used the Windows 11 media creation tool from Microsoft's site to download the installation media onto my 64GB USB drive. Now, I've come across some posts mentioning that Windows only boots from USB drives that are 32GB or smaller. Is it necessary for me to get a smaller USB, or can I stick with the 64GB one? Thanks for your help!

Why not give it a shot? Since you've already created the bootable USB drive, you can try booting from it and see if it works out for you!
From what I've read, the size of the USB stick isn't really a problem as long as you used the Media Creation Tool for the setup. I've used a 128GB USB for a similar process without any issues before.
So if I followed the right steps and formatted my USB correctly, it should work fine, right?
I'm reusing my GPU from my old PC, so it would be a hassle if it doesn't work. I just wanted to check first!
