Convert NTFS to exFAT successfully
Geeks - To convert a drive from NTFS to exFAT, you will need to use a third-party utility. One popular option is the "Disk Management" tool built into Windows, which allows you to format drives and change their file system. Here are the steps to convert a drive from NTFS to exFAT using the Disk Management tool:
Open the Start menu and type "disk management" into the search box. Click on the "Create and format hard disk partitions" option that appears.
In the Disk Management window, right-click on the drive you want to convert and select "Format."
In the Format window, select "exFAT" from the File System drop-down menu and click "OK."
Click "OK" again in the warning window that appears, confirming that you want to format the drive. The formatting process will begin and may take several minutes to complete.
It's important to note that formatting a drive will erase all data on the drive, so make sure you have a backup of any important files before proceeding. Additionally, make sure you select the correct drive in the Disk Management tool, as formatting the wrong drive could cause data loss.
