Microsoft removed today an arbitrary 32GB size limit for FAT32 partitions in the latest Windows 11 Canary build, now allowing for a maximum size of 2TB.

    I am just worried about compatibility with other software.

      Windows already supported different partition sizes, it just didn’t allow creating them bigger than 32GB without some workarounds. So nothing should change from other software perspective.

    Fat32 can get corrupted very easily. I don’t understand why anyone would use it for anywhere near 2tb of data. However, I guess it is a nice feature
