By default, Windows XP computers come configured with NTFS. Note: You can use important features such as Active Directory and domain-based security only by choosing NTFS as your file system. The NTFS setup program makes it easy to convert your partition to the new version of NTFS, even if it used FAT or FAT32 before.
Does Windows XP use FAT32?
Windows XP can mount and support FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB (subject to the other limits), but you cannot create a FAT32 volume larger than 32 GB by using the Format tool during Setup. If you need to format a volume that is larger than 32 GB, use the NTFS file system to format it.
Does Windows XP support exFAT?
exFAT is supported in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 with update KB955704, Windows Embedded CE 6.0, Windows Vista with Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2 (except Windows Server 2008 Server Core), Windows 10, macOS starting from 10.6.
