Default NTFS vs. FATt32

My present PC has a NTFS formatted HD. I have added another HD from an old
Gateway that is formatted in FAT32. I can access those FAT32 files and
read them
under current condition. Is it advisable to copy FAT32 files to a NTFS
formatted
drive, or should I just leave well enough alone? Thank you for your input.

Default Re: NTFS vs. FATt32

In most cases for most private residential users, there is no reason to
change from FAT32 to NTFS in the situation you describe.
