Hey everyone! I'm getting ready to update my BIOS and install Windows 11 on my new PC, but I'm a bit confused about which USB drives to buy. I plan on picking up two USB drives, one for each task. I've heard that using a USB 2.0 drive might be best for the BIOS update, but I'm uncertain about what read/write speeds I should look for. Also, when it comes to Windows 11, is it better to go with a USB 3.0, 1.0, or 2.0? And again, what speeds should I keep in mind? Thanks a ton for any tips!

For BIOS updates, you really don’t need anything fancy. Most BIOS files are pretty small, so any basic USB drive at a decent price should work. When it comes to installing Windows 11, again, the read speed isn't a huge issue. Just grab something reliable and you’ll be fine!

Thanks a lot! What would you suggest looking for in a USB stick specifically for the Windows 11 installation?
