Microsoft righted an age-old “wrong” (at least for those who geek out about disk formatting) earlier this week. With its latest Windows 11 Insider Canary Preview Build, the company increased the maximum FAT32 partition size limit from 32GB to 2TB when using the command line.

    Personal computers and flagship phones? Yeah you can probably use exFAT.

    Video game consoles and handhelds? Dashcams? Car entertainment centers? Cheap android devices? 100% going to be FAT32 partitioned with a Master Boot Record

        I just flashed my mobo last night and it wanted a fat32 fs. It’s not low-end at all.

        You think high end motherboards are going to flash from XFS?

      Yup, I had to download a program to format my 64Gb micro SD card for my 3ds last year.
