After nearly three decades, Microsoft has finally decided to push the boundaries of FAT32 partition sizes. The tech giant has expanded the maximum limit from 32GB to 2TB, opening up new possibilities for storage enthusiasts and device manufacturers alike.
Microsoft finally removes the FAT32 partition size limit in Windows 11
The change will first be visible to those running the Canary build. The latest Windows Insider blog reads:
"When formatting disks from the command line using the format command, we increased the FAT32 size limit from 32 GB to 2 TB."
The FAT32 file system has been the go-to choice for years due to its broad compatibility. However, the 32-bit limitation has been a thorn in the side of those who need larger storage capacities. Now, Microsoft has taken a bold step to address this long-standing problem.
