As long as it works with your computer's hardware it should be fine.

What do you mean by platform? 

Essential Tails is a Linux Operating System, so it should work on any Computer.  Only exception may be a Macintosh because they have a modified BIOS which is different from a normal PC.

A USB stick is a USB stick for the most part.  They work on all computers.
