You don't need another file or window.

But to be effective, media queries should always be placed at the bottom of other CSS so they can override other settings of the same specificity when their conditions apply.

The CSS provided by the challenge already has a rule for h1 that sets the font-size property which will take precedence unless the media query comes afterwards.

You can't (and never have to) add files during a challenge.

CSS rules never have to be split between files, having all of them in one file is fine. The issue with your code is the order that the rules are listed in. Since the h1 rule in your media query has the same priority as another h1 rule farther down the page (and the rules modify the same property) it ends up being overridden.

You can solve this issue by simply moving your media query to the bottom of the page, which is where media queries are usually kept by convention anyway.
