I will setup my new computer in an hour, i have 2 USB sticks and they are 16gb,64gb. I was planning to use 16gb for windows and 64 for bios update (With M-Flash)

But i learned that i need a Fat32 usb for bios and windows. What should i do ? 

I can install the windows with 16gb USB and format it for BIOS update.

 

My motherboard says its ready for 3000 series, maybe i might not need to update it i don't know.

 

Parts;

Msi B450M Mortar MAX

Ryzen 5 3600

You wont need to update the motherboard as it comes with ryzen 3000 support, thats what the 'max' is.

I found a guide, it makes my usb drive 6gb and now i can format it to fat32, i did and put the bios update file into it. Should work.

Only problem i don't know how to undo that whatever lol.

If you already updated, then no problem. Dosen't really matter, when you have a USB bios flash button. You can always downgrade/upgrade BIOS version 🙂
