NTFS and FAT32 are different file systems that help Windows reads data on hard drive partition. FAT32 is older file system comparing to NTFS, so it has higher compatibility among various operating systems like Linux, Mac, XBOX One, PS3, PS4, 3DS, and so on.

If you want to convert NTFS to FAT32 on external hard drive, connect it to your machine and make sure it can be detected in advance.
