I just bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226475

Ok if say  I put an OS system on this will I then be able to put other files on it to? Is there a scenario where I can only put certain types of files on 1 flashdrive? Just looking for a heads up on these. and before someone says google, I trust the opinions here more.

yes

You answered that before I got to edit it to add this. Should I format it to NTFS or exfat?

for windows installation just use RUFUS and it will auto select everything

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
