USB Flash Stick problem

[FX4568]

i dont know if this belongs on the right section, so if it does not belong here, im am sorry.

a year ago, i made my 64gb USB capable of using Time machine, now that i require more than 64GB, i will use a different hard drive. Problem is, other non mac computers dont recognize the old 64GB usb, i think i need to do something in disk utility, but I dont remember what it was.
Any help would be apprecaited.

Hope that helps, as some of the things you said I clearly didn't understand:
