    Formating to exFAT

    If that's the case, you might need to use a format manager software, but you can try these other steps first.

    Kindly follow the instructions below:

    • Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port.
    • Type devmgmt.msc in the Search textbox beside the Windows icon and press
      Enter.
    • Find Disk Drives and expand it.
    • Find the USB flash drive you want to format, and double-click it. It opens the Properties dialog box.
    • Click Policies tab.
    • By default, the Optimize for quick removal option selected, switch it to
      Optimize for performance and then press OK.
    • Now open Computer. Right click on the USB Flash Drive and select
      Format. The Format dialog box now appears.
    • Select exFAT in the File System field.
    • Press Start and wait while the process is completed.

    Let us know how this goes.

    How to format USB drive to exFAT on Windows 10 Home Version 22H2?

    Windows 7 cannot see Exfat usb drive

    I have a usb flash drive which was formatted as exfat on a Windows 10 machine, which works on Windows 10, Linux and macOS but the windows 7 machine only sees it as a fat32 partition and won't assign a drive letter.

    Anyone have any suggestions how to get windows 7 to see the files on it?
