Why on earth would you do that? People have been using exFAT for many years now.
- taway1237 3y agoIsn't it still a default somewhere? I recently formatted a pendrive on Windows and somehow mindlessly selected FAT (and ofc had troubles down the road). I probably picked a default somewhere. And to respond your question: >Why on earth would you do that? People have been using exFAT for many years now. Most people have no idea what FAT is. If presented a choicee between FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext4 I'm certain they don't care, don't understand the implication, and would just click a random option. Which is OK, not everyone should be a IT expert, it's MS job to make the experience smooth. edit: and a technical reason: i think FAT32 is the only guaranteed fs supported by UEFI
