I just purchased a WD MyBook external hard drive which is formatted in exFAT. I currently have Windows 10 for my HP laptop. Which format should I use? I have never reformatted a hard drive before. Is this something that is not too difficult for a non tech person to do? I do know reformating will erase all the current files off of the drive, is there any way that I can save the files that came with this?
What are the pros and cons of these formats?
TY
