Microsoft is finally removing the FAT32 partition size limit in Windows 11
The arbitrary limit is finally being removed.
Former Windows developer Dave Plummer divulged earlier this year that he was responsible for the format dialog box that hasn’t been touched in decades, and he also picked the 32GB limit for FAT32. “I also had to decide how much ‘cluster slack’ would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB,” admitted Plummer in a post on X. Hopefully Microsoft decides to update the format GUI in upcoming Windows 11 builds, to make it even easier for everyone to create full FAT32 partitions.
