I will do that. Thanks again.

I was successful! Thank you. Well, I will show you with the screenshots. Beer coming your way.

LOL! I am so scared of messing up that if it is not the exact wording I freeze. I will follow your directions exactly. I am away from the computer now. I will let you know when I have succeeded.

I don’t see a “delete partition”

You are the best! Thanks so much!

Is this correct? Copy one of my disks over to the new SSD. Then change the file system of my exFAT to NTSF. Then move the data back to the original SSD? Then repeat with the second disk that is exFAT? Fortunately I have the new 4TB disk that can be the one I transfer the data to. I will do this tomorrow as I am sure it will take awhile. Thanks.

Thank you thank you! Will follow your advice!

I have two Sandisk SSD that are the exFAT file system. Is it possible to change to the NTFS without screwing up data? I was unaware about the two systems when I started using those disks. 😞

Hi Brian, Just purchased a SanDisk SSD 4TB. I want to give it a letter other than the one my windows 10 gives it. When I attempted to do that, I noticed the two file systems. I have some EHD using the exFAT and some using NTFS. Which is best to use?

Please help me by sending your link to buy you a beer. I find Damiens but not yours.

Thank you for the understandable explanation. I will settle for viewing in just Bridge at this time. I will look into your suggestion.

I have searched for answers and get very confused by the answers. Plus, many say that installing RAW file extension from Microsoft helped for a short time but then stopped working.

Do you have an answer that, a NOT techie, can solve this issue?

Thank you.

Do you still recommend this one? If not, which one is better?

Appreciate your help! The links and photos sure help me. Beer on the way!

Hi Brian.

I messed up some how and now need your advise. I purchased the following Samsung SSD, but did not notice that the cable does not come with it. Do you have advice on purchasing an appropriate one?

Thank you !!

my sister is buying you a beer. Please direct me to your link to buy the beer. Can’t find it.

She can spend up to $3,000. 

Hi Brian, I am reaching out to you regarding a need for my sister. I am a Windows user. She has/had a Mac IOS x. It died yesterday. She does not edit pictures and does not use any Adobe programs. I am trying to help her purchase a new computer for very basic use/needs. She wants to stay with desktop and Mac. What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I did it! Thank you for "holding my hand" and the step by step instructions. A beer is on the way.

I tried right clicking on the bigger partition and I did get the Delete Volume. I did that. Stuck now at the GPT instruction. That is not showing up.

Hi Brian. The drive arrived today and I tried to follow the instructions you provided in the above link. I got to where I was to Delete Volume. That was grayed out and nothing happened when I clicked on it.

Thank you. I will follow your instructions. It is supposed to arrive by Thursday.

My computer is ASUS 15.6" Republic of Gamers GL552VW

Windows 10

Hi Brian. I plan on purchasing this drive to back up my 4TB SSD. This drive will remain off site or in a safe. I read that I will need to format it for Windows. Is that something I can do, or will you guide me through that process?
