Microsoft is finally removing the FAT32 partition size limit in
Windows 11

Microsoft is planning to remove the 32GB size limit for FAT32
partitions in Windows 11. While FAT supports volumes up to 2TB,
Windows has had a 32GB arbitrary limit in place for nearly 30 years.
"When formatting disks from the command line using the format command,
we've increased the FAT32 size limit from 32GB to 2TB," revealed the
Windows team in a blog post on Thursday detailing the latest Windows
11 Canary test build.
I wondered about that 32 GB limit. I wonder if it's formatted FAT32 higher than 32GB in Windows 11, say on a 64 GB thumb/flash USB drive. What happens if you plug that 64GB flash drive into a Windows 10 or older machine? Is it simply not backwards-compatible/can't be read?
