Microsoft righted an age-old “wrong” (at least for those who geek out about disk formatting) earlier this week. With its latest Windows 11 Insider Canary Preview Build, the company increased the maximum FAT32 partition size limit from 32GB to 2TB when using the command line.

    About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32’s 4-GB cap, which I’ve disliked. I’m still using Ntfs.

      Problem is NTFS isn’t as widely supported across alternative operating systems.

        Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.

        I have Windows so I’m OK with Ntfs.
