First, runs My Computer, right-click on the C: Drive, then go to Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, and then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type in CMD, and then select OK. At the prompt, type in CONVERT C: /FS: NTFS and press Enter. NTFS has several improvements over FAT and HPFS (High Performance File System) such as improved support for metadata and the use of advanced data structures to improve performance, reliability, and disk space utilization, plus additional extensions such as security access control lists (ACL) and file system journaling.
