    USB install - Fat32 OR NTFS ?


    As I recommended, though, if you have a Windows 10 installation USB flash drive that you have successfully booted the computer from, I would just keep it that way. Anything happens with a bad update, especially the big Windows 10 Anniversary update coming up August 2nd, you may need the bootable drive to fix things.

    You can create extra folders on the Windows 10 installation USB flash drive if you want for extra storage. I have a folder called Drivers on mine with external drivers for my hardware stored on it.

    Yes, I forgot to comment on that. I saved the bootable Win 10 drive for just that. Have it with the original disc and the manuals for the parts. Thanks again for all your great advice!

    change FAT32 USB to NTFS: I purchased a 16 GB USB drive to use as ReadyBoost. In reading I discovered that NTFS is best because you can use more of the space and that you can convert FAT32 to NFTS. I had already devoted the drive to ReadyBoost before I tried this so maybe that is my problem....
