How to Check SD Card Format in Windows 10, 8, 7

Geeks - To check the format of an SD card in Windows 10, 8, or 7, you can use the Disk Management utility. Here's how:

Open the Disk Management utility by pressing the Windows key + R on your keyboard, typing "diskmgmt.msc" into the Run dialog box, and then pressing Enter.

In the Disk Management utility, right-click on the SD card and select "Properties" from the context menu.

In the Properties window, go to the "Volumes" tab and look for the "File System" field. This will tell you the format of the SD card, such as "FAT32" or "exFAT."

Alternatively, you can use the Command Prompt to check the format of an SD card. Here's how:

Open the Command Prompt by pressing the Windows key + R on your keyboard, typing "cmd" into the Run dialog box, and then pressing Enter.

In the Command Prompt, type "diskutil list" and press Enter to list all available disks on your computer.

Find the SD card in the list of disks and note its disk number. For example, if the SD card is listed as "disk 2," then its disk number is 2.

Type "diskutil info disk#" and press Enter, where "disk#" is the number of the SD card. For example, if the SD card's disk number is 2, then you would type "diskutil info disk2" and press Enter.

In the output, look for the "Partition Type" field. This will tell you the format of the SD card, such as "FAT32" or "exFAT."

Keep in mind that these instructions are for checking the format of an SD card that is already inserted into your computer. If the SD card is not currently inserted, you will not be able to check its format using these methods.
