steam deck: Windows to go micro sd or usb pendrive?
better a usb memory or a micro sd to use windows to go, i read that using windows on a micro sd irreparably reduces life (i already have a 256gb which is giving me problems after using it with windows)

USB Flash Drives are no different then SD or Micro-SD cards.
In fact I have not purchased a USB Flash/Pen Drive since 4GB was new and going for like $90-100. Nothing wrong with just using a Pen Drive sized Card Reader and then just buying Micro-SD cards. This way I can carry around TB worth of data and different drives for different needs, all inside a plastic case the size of a very small pill bottle.

Where is your issue exactly?
You want to format usb/sd stuff in Windows OS to use on Steam Deck?

If would be best that if you are going to format any secondary non-boot drive in Windows OS that is to be used on non-WinOS based systems; like Linux/SteamDeck; that you use MBR + EXFAT
