How do I change my system to NTFT? I am now on Fat32, I heard it was better

1) It's NTFS.
2) In many ways it is better. Performance during gaming is "up in the air"
as far as I am concerned, but the security and space you gain is worth it.
Read the next web page for more information:

Open a Command Prompt and type in "convert /?". This should help.
