NTFS should be fine, and MBR scheme is fine since that all computers can't handle UEFI. Rufus is a great tool, but I like creating bootable USB devices manually just for the sake of knowing how.
- From a command prompt type diskpart this should prompt for elevated rights so accept
- At the diskpart prompt, with your usb plugged in, type list disk this will provide of list of all of your disks starting from 0 (zero)
- Next select your usb drive (lets say its disk 1 in this example) select disk 1
- Next you remove any old data and meta data from the disk with clean
- Next you need to create a partition create part primary then select it select part 1
- Next you format the partition with a filesystem fs=<flesystem> format fs=ntfs label="My USB" the label switch is optional
- Last you have to mark the partition as active by typing active
- Exit diskpart by typing exit

This is exactly why threads should be closed.
Me personally, when I see post being replied to that are a year or older (3yrs in some cases), I just leave them alone. 99% of the time it's just a spammer with a link to some junk software and they are dealt with. The other 1% of the time it's newbies just jumping in not realizing that the posts are 1 to 3 years old.
