Whether you’re formatting an internal drive, external drive, USB flash drive, or SD card, Windows gives you the choice of using three different file systems: NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT. The Format dialog in Windows doesn’t explain the difference, so we will.
Click Start, type devmgmt.msc in the Search textbox and press Enter. Find Disk Drives and expand it. Find the USB flash drive you want to format, and double-click it. It opens the Properties dialog box. Click Policies tab. By default, the Optimize for quick removal option selected, switch it to Optimize for performance and then press OK. Now open Computer.
Right click on the USB Flash Drive and select Format. The Format dialog box now appears. Select NTFS in the File System field. Press Start and wait while the process will be completed.
