Here you have to choose the type of encryption again, which you should leave alone unless you know what all that means.

Next, the process for the hidden volume starts.This is supposed to be your fake sensitive data. Once complete, you’ll be asked to go ahead and copy data to the outer volume.This will take some time because this format actually writes random data over the entire drive as opposed to the quick format that normally occurs in Windows.
Click the Format button and it will delete everything on the drive and then start the creation process for the outer volume. The FAT filesystem is better for VeraCrypt.
Next, you have to format the outer volume and I would recommend not changing any of the settings here. They recommend ‘no’, so only choose ‘yes’ if you really need to store files larger than 4GB on the drive. Next, choose whether you want to support large files or not. At this point, you have to enter an outer volume password note that the passwords for the outer volume and hidden volume have to be very different, so think of some good, long and strong passwords. The next screen will set the size of the outer volume, which will be the same size as the partition. If you have no idea what anything means, just leave it at the default and click Next. Choose the encryption algorithm and the hash algorithm. Note that you can choose a partition or the entire device. Click on the Select Device button and then look for your removable device. Pick Normal mode on the next screen so that VeraCrypt creates the normal volume and hidden volume for you. In this way, if someone forces you to give up your password, they will only see the contents of the first volume, not the second one. You should store the real sensitive data in the second encrypted volume and some fake data in the first encrypted volume both protected by 2 different passwords. To be precise, Super secure = hidden volume, because it creates a second encrypted volume inside the first encrypted volume. Click on the link provided to understand in detail the difference. Choose between creating a Standard VeraCrypt volume or a Hidden VeraCrypt volume. The second option will encrypt your entire USB flash drive. The first option will create a virtual encrypted disk stored in a single file. Choose to Create an encrypted file container or to Encrypt a non-system partition/drive. The volume creation wizard will pop up and you’ll have a couple of options. Run the program, A window with a bunch of drive letters and a few buttons appears. Here’s how to encrypt your USB drive using VeraCrypt:
