[Solved] The File is Too Large For The Destination File System

File is too large for the destination file system while copying files larger than 4 GB to external disks like a flash drive or internal disk partition. This error occurs when you are trying to copy a file larger than 4 GB to a fat32 disk or disk partition.

In order to fix this issue, you need to convert fat32 to NTFS.
(This will work with Windows 7, 8.1, and Windows 10)
There may be 2 situations-
1. If you are copying the file to an external disk (Flash drive/ HDD) and this disk doesn't contain any data.

Then you can simply format it to NTFS.
Right-click on the disk then format.
Select file system "NTFS" and check the "Quick Format" and Start.

This will delete everything from the disk and convert it to NTFS.

2. If the disk or internal disk partition has data and you don't want to delete it.

Then you need to convert fat32 to NTFS without losing data.

Access elevated command prompt.

Type
convert (disk_letter): /fs:ntfs /nosecurity

Hit enter on the keyboard.

It will take some time to convert files to support New Technology File System depending on the number of files in disk or disk partition.

You can execute the above command without /nosecurity parameter but the files may not be readable to other user accounts on your PC or another computer.

So it is better to remove the read/write security. It won't break any Windows security.
