You’ll need to reformat your SanDisk 64GB USB drive from exFAT to FAT32 permanently to convert it. Follow these steps on a windows computer:

  • Insert your USB drive into the computer.
  • Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
  • Type the following command and press Enter to list all drives: diskpart
  • Next enter: ‘list disk’
  • Identify your USB drive from the list, and
  • type: select disk [number]
    clean
    create partition primary
    format fs=fat32 quick
    exit

Your drive is now formatted as FAT32.
