Therefore, to format a drive in FAT32 format, you will have to either use a third-party FAT32 format utility, or manually force Windows to format your drive as FAT32 from the command line using diskpart.
You can back to another drive, or use a cloud storage service like, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, or Dropbox. While Windows Vista does have a FAT32 option, no version of Windows can format a disk larger than 32 GB as FAT32.
Because formatting the drive will delete all of your data, make a backup of anything you want to keep. If you have specific instructions to use FAT32 and your drive is larger than 2GB, you'll need a third-party tool to format it as FAT32-continue with this method. In Windows 10, right-click the Start button to launch the power user menu and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin). If your drive is larger than 2TB and you just want to use it to share files between multiple modern operating systems (Windows 8 and later, macOS X 10.6.6 and later), use this method instead, and be sure to select exFAT as the file system type. If your drive is larger or you need to work with big files, it's better to use exFAT, which has almost identical compatibility. The main difference is that you can't work with files larger than 4GB on FAT32, nor can it work with drives larger than 2TB. 
ExFAT, the successor to FAT32, also works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other devices.
