    I just got my new W3J and I'm doing a few tweaks to it before I start using it as my main computer.

    I just converted by C&D drives to Fat32 4K aligned and then to NTFS with the help of partition magic.

    I was just wondering if I should leave the Recovery partition in Fat32 or convert it like my C & D drive.

    Thanks

    There's no good reason to change it since it will be used so rarely and fragmentation won't be an issue at all since literally nothing is going to be written, deleted or moved to or from that partition.
