How To Convert T7 Samsung Shield To Ntfs

Make sure you have all data you wish to keep off the USB external drive and stored elsewhere.

Method 1:
1. Open File Explorer and right click the plugged in USB drive.
2. Select Format
3. Select NTFS and be sure quick format is selected.

Method 2:
1. Right click this PC and select Disk Management.
2. Right click the USB drive from the Volumes showing.
3. Select Format.

Method 3:
1. Open a cmd prompt as an administrator
(In the run/enter box type cmd and press enter; when it opens, right click and select run as administrator)
2. Type the following: format X:/FS:NTFS and press enter.
Replace X above with the drive letter of your external drive. Be very careful that you type the correct letter otherwise you will end up formatting a drive you did not want to format.

 

I never owned a drive that was formatted exFAT so I've never had to do any of the above.

Post back which method you used and how it worked so it helps someone else who might have the same issue.
