lol very smart question xD sometimes I use flash drives with small capacity, and even if that's not the case, my flash drive would be full already by software and other stuff, sometimes I make a bootable flash drive with many versions of windows on it, xp, 7, 8.1 , 10 even linux distributions or any bootable iso like rescue or backup media, hard disk tools or even android x86 so I hate when my flash drive is running out of space because of a big size windows 10 iso integrated with last updates etc..
I only use FAT32 formatted 8GB USB3 keys for windows installations, the 64GB USB drive is for the other stuff
lol I don't think 8 is enough for both x86 and x64, but anyways i don't like to see that red bar under my flash drive, i like blue xD
in that case yes, I had same aio for win 7 for a long time then I decided to separate them again x86 and x64 because I don't need them all the time together, i was once a big fan of making aio but I don't know what happens, i just don't see any need for that right now, maybe it was a trend that time lol
I only showed you that it can easily fit a 8GB usb. This is the size back as wim: 6.50 GB (6,987,579,549 bytes), should fit too.
@Enthousiast I tried both your methods dism /English /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:x:\install.wim For two indexes to be exported just repeat this line with the different /sourceindex:X in, like this: Code: dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"x:\install.wim" /SourceIndex:3 /DestinationImageFile:"y:\install.wim" /Compress:max /checkintegrity dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"x:\install.wim" /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:"y:\install.wim" /Compress:max /checkintegrity and W10 ISO Tool Both worked flawlessly, sorry about asking the same question I did not refresh the page and did not see your first response until I posted the second question. I'm still learning All your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Yeah they are. It seems the 32GB ones are most common now. I have a handful of them I use for Windows install, seems like a waste of space, but oh well. Problem with going out of your way to find smaller ones is they tend to be older tech which is slower. It is nice to cut down that load time a bit with a faster USB drive. For the fat32 limitation I plan to just go with splitting the image into swm files. I don't have to do that yet, but at some point I probably will. There's other ways to deal with it, but splitting seems like the easiest way to go. Still it seems odd to me they just glossed over that in the UEFI spec. You would think they'd have used a filesystem without that limitation like exFAT or something.
Never tested it, have no >8GB usb's free to use for a test (the only other usb i have is 64GB Corsair Voyager GT), but i've read some info that >8GB FAT32 USB won't boot Legacy BIOS (8GB FAT32 does boot).
Just tested to boot with a 16 GB Fat32 Lexar USB stick a ten years old VAIO notebook with legacy bios : no problem at all.
I'm only using UEFI so I wouldn't have to be concerned with legacy issues. Worked out when I moved recently I got rid of all my desktop computers and bought a couple new laptops. If I still had those desktop computers I'd have to deal with it. I do miss some things about having desktop computers, like lots of ports and room for expansion/upgrades, but laptops are better for me, no home office in the new place, much to my chagrin.
I use 256 gb flashdisk : it is created with aioboot . I can legacy and uefi installing without any issues. its contain w7 w8.1 w10 rs4 rs5 19h1 20h1 isos
