  2. NTFS or FAT32

    Hello. I have a copy of bootable Windows 10 on my 8gb flashdrive. The ISO was probably 4.7gb or 4.8gb and was from the April Update. I decided to delete it and download the October Update to use as a copy. I used Rufus but since the update has 5gb+ of
    files, and Rufus supports 4.7gb for FAT32, I was unable to make a copy in FAT32 file system. I made one in NTFS but I wasn't sure if it will work. Is there any way to make a copy in FAT32? If not, will NTFS work for GPT partition? What would happen if I stick
    to NTFS and GPT partition instead of FAT32 and GPT partition? Thanks!

    FAT32 formatting

    If you can plug the drive into a XP system you can partition and format to FAT32 through Drive Configuration. Heres the steps

    1. Click Start and go to your control panel

    2. Go into Administrative Tools and then open up Computer Management

    3. Now click on Disk Management that is located under Storage.

    On the right you should see your drive that you want to format to FAT32. Just right click the drive, select format, and switch partition to Fat32. You may need to delete the volume if it will not let you change to Fat32 and then repartition. I have used this many times.

    How to force fat32 in Rufus

    Windows detected that the efi system partition was formatted as ntfs. Format the efi system partition as fat32, and restart the installation

    Can you get us any kind of picture or listing of your partition configuration?

    If you used Rufus, it can set up a drive that has a Fat32 and NTFS partition but UEFI needs Fat32 to boot.
