<h2>Why you need Minimum 16 GB Pendrive?</h2>

My First Question is <strong>How to Make Bootable Pendrive?</strong>
If you do not have a 16 GB Pendrive at work, then you will not be able to boot your Pendrive and even if you do, I do not say that but your Pendrive is working from 16 GB, then it will be much later If you use 32 GB or more than this, you will be able to lag, if you use it, if it is 16 GB then it will also run.
I am going to use 32 GB of Pendrive in this tutorial, if you want, you can also use it.
