In this video I will be showing you how to format a flashdrive to FAT32 when windows only gives you the option to format to exFat or NTFS. If your flashdrive is less than 32GB then you can easily format it to FAT32 using the file explore from the the file explorer. Reasons you many need to use FAT32: 1. Compatibility: Some devices, such as older game consoles, cameras, printers, copiers, and some media players, only support the FAT32 file system. If you want to use your flash drive with one of these devices, you will need to format it to FAT32. 2.Cross-platform compatibility: FAT32 is a file system that can be read and written to by both Windows and macOS without any additional software. If you need to transfer files between a Windows PC and a Mac, formatting the flash drive to FAT32 can be a convenient way to ensure compatibility. 3.Large file support: FAT32 supports files up to 4GB in size, which is smaller than other file systems like NTFS. However, if you need to use the flash drive to transfer files that are smaller than 4GB, formatting it to FAT32 can be a good choice. 4.Bootable drive: Some operating systems require the flash drive to be formatted to FAT32 in order to create a bootable drive. If you need to create a bootable drive for an operating system, formatting the flash drive to FAT32 may be necessary. It's important to note that formatting a flash drive will erase all data on it, so make sure to backup any important files before formatting.
