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?

 
OS would have to be updated, if M$ updates this feature.

AIUI the limit is in the Windows formatter tool. If you manage to format the
disc some other way I think Windows can read and write it, possibly up to
the 2TB limit.
