That would work.
You can also connect the drive, do an elevated command prompt so that you
are running as administrator, and then execute the following command,
substituting the targeted drive letter for the external drive you have
connected:
"Convert G: /FS:NTFS
where G: is the sample drive letter I used; and NTFS indicates that you want
to convert that drive to the NTFS (more modern file system.)

Subject: [JAWS-Users] convert ex drive from fat32 to ntfs?
My grandson has an ex drive without about 200 gb of data stored on a fat32
drive. He needs it to be converted to ntfs. My win 10 laptop has more than
enough hd space. I first thought about trying to copy his ex drive to a new
folder on my lap top. Then reformat his drive and copy everything back. I
also thought about trying to use image for windows to back up his ex drive
and then restore it to the reformatted unit. I am not sure if a simple copy
of what will be the d drive to the new folder would be the best. With that
much data could it get clobbered?
