    What are the Pros and Cons of the 2 file systems?

    Do most (actual experiences) have good luck converting from FAT32 to NTFS without data loss???

    Thank you!

    Go for NTFS for sure. FAT32 is doesn't support large files and is outdated overall.
    I didn't have problems converting, but if you have important data, it's better to backup and format your hdd to NTFS.

    NTFS, FAT causes that annoying disk check to run at boot to often.
    And I have done the convert command on a few systems with no data loss, but as always BACKUP!
