You can format a USB drive to exFAT on Windows in just a few simple steps using File Explorer or Disk Management, making it compatible for large files and multiple devices.

Method 1 — Using File Explorer
Insert the USB drive into your Windows computer. Make sure any important data is backed up, as formatting will erase all contents.
Open File Explorer (Windows key + E) and locate your USB drive under "This PC" or "My Computer."

Right-click the USB drive and select Format…
In the Format window:

File system: Choose exFAT
Allocation unit size: Leave as Default for general use
Volume label: Enter a name for your USB drive (optional)
Quick Format: Check this box for a faster format

Click Start, then confirm the warning about erasing data.
After a few moments, your USB drive will be formatted as exFAT and ready for use.
