5 Best Free FAT32 To NTFS Converter Software For Windows

Here is a list of best free FAT32 to NTFS converter software for Windows. Using these software, you can change FAT32 file system of a system drive, flash drive, etc., into an NTFS file system. The main advantage of converting FAT32 to NTFS is that NTFS supports maximum file size up to 16TB whereas FAT32 supports a file up to only 4GB. There are other advantages of NTFS over FAT32 like support of file/folder encryption, compression, better fault tolerance, etc.

These FAT32 to NTFS converter software can convert file system without loss of flash drive or system drive data. Lossless data conversion means you do not need to format data before conversion. Some converters also let you convert the file system back to FAT32 from NTFS. Besides that, these software possess many other handy features such as data recovery, backup tools, migrate OS to SSD feature, etc.

Windows itself contains two features to convert FAT32 to NTFS file system, one is through command prompt and another one is through Windows default drive format option. To convert file system through command prompt, you just need to launch the command prompt to write convert drive letter/ fs:ntfs (eg: convert F:/fs:ntfs). This method provides lossless file system conversion. Now, to convert through drive format option, firstly, right click on a drive and select format option. Format option opens up a small window that contains a file system drop-down menu. From file system menu, select the NTFS option and press start button. Remember this feature converts file system, but it also erases all the data on a drive. So in that case, you can get a software from this list to convert FAT32 to NTFS.
