Convert from FAT32 to NTFS without formatting the flash drive and hard drive
If you intend to convert from FAT32 to NTFS on the flash drive or partition inside the hard disk for any reason, perhaps the strongest of these reasons to solve the problem of File is too large for the destination file system on the flash drive, this is because the flash drive that works with the Fat32 file system does not accept transferring any file to it larger than 4 GB.
Also, if you want to convert the partition from NTFS to Fat32 or vice versa without formatting the flash drive or partition and without losing any files from the flash drive or partition, you can do so by using the Fat32 to Ntfs conversion command on the CMD command prompt in Windows. Here is how to do that with a practical experiment in the video in addition to a detailed explanation with pictures.
