After Usb Used for Installation Used Again

Yes, you can reuse it and yes you can add other files to it but to keep it clean, create a folder and put your personal files in it.
For example, I created a folder called Software and put all the third party applications in it so after Windows Installation, I can install the rest.

Sorry for getting in 
,
So EACH FILE size is limited to 4GB in Fat32 ?
Can i use Rufus to format to ntfs, or is there any other?
For windows iso to work, I've heard sometimes FAT32 only works, is that correct?

Ok
David,
Allocation unit size is default 4096 bytes? It's same for both fat32 & ntfs?
The flash drives I have usually goes through the hands of many of my friends for copying files, ISOs etc. & finally come to me after some time, so I consider it as rough use
@Jimbo
so for ISO - fat32 works usually is it? How can I partition USB, just like HDD?

David, will you be able to make system image (usually >4gigs ) in a FAT32 partitioned USB?
Jimbo, thanks for that

Keep in mind that if your installing Windows in UEFI mode, some PC's require the thumb drive to be formatted in FAT for it to work. If you format the thumb drive in NTFS you may not get the UEFI install option in the boot menu and won't be able to do a UEFI install. I prefer NTFS over FAT or FAT32, especially for large capacity thumb drives.
