My flash card that is above 32GB shows up as not formatted in my device after formatting it in Windows. Why?

Question

Accepted Answer

Many devices that use flash cards may only recognize a FAT32 file system. However, the Windows format utility will automatically default the file system to exFAT for any removable storage device above 32GB. Additionally, it will not give the option to format with FAT32 file system. Therefore, due to the exFAT file system, your device may not see the file system and therefore identify the card as not formatted. The best practice is to reformat the card in the device you primarily use the card with.
