Format Usb Ntfs Windows 10
Posted on
Jan 12, 2018 After 4 attempts to format usb to ntfs for recovery, windows 10 changed the format to FAT32. I finished the recovery. I then attempted to boot from FAT32 formatted usb with frozen windows.
NTFS is a journaling file system, so it'll cause some wearout to the USB drive, somehow reducing the drive's life expectancy. It's now supported by all modern OSes, but some old Linux or MacOS PCs might need to install the ntfs-3g driver. FAT32 is supported by all operating systems, but it has a maximum 4 GB file size limit. So none of them are good for USB drives.

ExFAT is the most suitable one because it's specifically designed for flash drives and is now supported by (almost) all operating systems.
