    Took a while 🥱

    Well, it's live, now (for me) & seemingly running alright, but poking around in it (by me) will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm it sure it will be fascinating 😏

    We know this, but others may not realise... 27686 is no longer "24H2" & has moved away from & beyond that.

    As per blog, I guess this is just the 1st step for fully supporting this change.

    [Storage]

    • When formatting disks from the command line using the format command, we’ve increased the FAT32 size limit from 32GB to 2TB.

    I could format this drive with FAT32 using the format command in DISKPART, but the context menu for formatting a drive still does not show the FAT32 option for a drive bigger than 32GB. 😂

    The FAT32 option on this context menu is still only available up to 32GB. 😎🤷‍♂️

    Back in days of yore when resources were limited, the 32GB limit allowed using half-words (i.e. 16bits) instead of full words (i.e. 32 bits). Today that seems extremely silly, but back when MS set the limit (maybe 25 years ago?) we had to limit things because RAM and other resources were extremely limited compared to what we have today. I'd say MS was probably very late making this change, but better late than never I guess.
