FAT32 has a 2TB size limit, so that is not going to be a problem any time soon.

Most USB thumb drivers over 8GB is by default NTFS even new Kingston 32GB they use NTFS as default.

Not all of them. Many come with ExFAT and all can be reformatted to FAT32 if desired.

Well a lot of the brand new USB thumb drives I pack out and use have Rufus choosing NTFS and showing default for them.

Windows 11 release is very close now, does anybody knows if directstorage will be available since day one?

You know that games need to be coded to use it, right?
It's going to take time to happen.

ExFAT is the default on many external HDD's and SD cards, since it works on every OS
Rufus is showing you what it recommends, not what is currently on there

Exactly. DirectStorage is not going to be an instant upgrade/magic fix many people think it will becasue it has to be coded in.

I actually got this from a charity shop for £10, there was 4, I should have bought them all. It's only OEM but has worked fine, i just use the same disc and bought keys cheap. I wouldn't mine a win 11 disc though

Yeah, my point of my question is, if windows 11 offers directstorage on the get go then is already a great incentive for developers to work their magic.

BTW does anyone know if I have be to running the latest Windows 10 version 21H1 to be able to upgrade to Win 11 via Windows update? I'm currently on 20H2.

It shouldn't matter as long as your machine got TPM2.0 and a compatible CPU you shouldn't have any update issues.

My gaming rig was running 21H1 so I cannot tell you, and my laptop got an i5-6300U so the cpu is not compatible from what Microsoft says but it got TPM2.0 so I had to do a fresh installation and that worked fine.

Hi,
I installed 21H2 I believe media creation tool is still creating it.

The version number of Win10 you're on doesn't matter. However, the edition does. If you're on Win10 Home you can only get a free update to Win11 Home. Then Pro -> Pro, etc.

Basically I'm interested if the upgrade to Win 11 button will pop up in the Windows update menu as I want to hit that button and windows 10 upgrades to 11. Obviously after Windows 11 gets officially released next month. For now I only have a button to upgrade to Win 10 21H1 and would prefer not to upgrade to 21H1 because Win 11 is just around the corner.

Well I have seen version 21H1 being installed on Lenovo laptops in about 5mins which ain't really bad and some even less then this like a normal update.

So I don't see why holding off with your i9 if you don't have any serious issues that hold you back.

W11 Rollout will be in stages. Meaning that not all compatible machines will get the upgrade option on day one. You could get it on day one or nine months down the line, depending on how Microsoft plans the rollout.

21H1 update was basically enabling access to features that were already delivered with 20H2. That is the reason why it was fast

However, it should be noted that if you buy a copy(retail or digital) day one and update that way, you'll get it straight away. So if you want it fast buy a copy and call it good.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate which I bought in 2007 while I was on a trip in the US, I also have 7 Ultimate somewhere. I did download an ISO from Microsoft's website with my serial number. It recognized it and said that I owned 7 Ultimate.

The W7 CD i posted i found it among a few CDs that someone left outside their house's door. I also have the Professional and Ultimate which are in USB sticks.

Concerning the Windows 11 but where I sometimes can't type in the mail app; I found out that I can backspace and delete, even when I can't type. All very strange.

The big gotcha, isn't the partition size limit, unlike FAT16, where back in 2002, I had a 78 GiB FAT32 partition for my brand-new-at-the-time Maxtor 80 GB 4D080H4 5K HDD, way before Seagate bought Maxtor!

The big gotcha, is the file-size limit, especially for OS images! (and any file!) For GiB, that appears to be 3.9.

Of course, but that is only a problem...

RJARRRPCGP said:

...for files like these. The vast majority of files will never have that problem. And for those situations there's ExFAT or NTFS.
