How to Change Format of USB to NTFS on Mac

The world is divided into two main operating systems: Microsoft Windows and macOS. When using an external drive between these two operating systems, it's essential to ensure compatibility by converting the drive into exFAT format. However, when switching an external drive with an NTFS format between the two operating systems, issues may arise.

Windows operating system supports both exFat and NTFS formats, making it compatible with various file systems. On the other hand, macOS is specifically designed to read and write on drives formatted in the exFAT format.

To change the format of your USB drive from its current format to NTFS on a Mac, follow these steps:

1. Launch EaseUS NTFS for Mac: Download and install EaseUS NTFS for Mac software on your computer. This software allows you to convert your external drive from one file system to another.

2. Connect the USB Drive: Connect your USB drive to your Mac using a compatible cable or adapter.

3. Open EaseUS NTFS for Mac: Open the EaseUS NTFS for Mac software and select the USB drive as the target device.

4. Choose the Conversion Option: Select the 'Convert' option from the menu, then choose the conversion type (in this case, NTFS).

5. Start the Conversion Process: Click on the 'Start' button to initiate the conversion process.

Once you've completed these steps, your USB drive will be formatted in the NTFS file system, allowing you to use it with both Windows and macOS operating systems seamlessly.
