Format A Memory card With Your Computer

It is good to format both old and new memory card, this is increase its performance and capacity.

                How do you format the memory card? It’s NOT by deleting all the files in the memory card until its empty. Not at all!

                Follow these steps to properly format a memory card:

·         Insert the memory card into a card reader or a USB card reader.

·         Slot in the card reader into the port on the computer.

·         A dialogue box pops up. This will show some information about the card reader.

·         If not, click on the Start menu and select Computer or My Computer or This PC. This will display a list of all connected or removable devices on your computer.

·         Ensure that you have back up all the necessary files on the old memory card. (because during the formatting process, all data will be completely erased)

·         Right-click on the card, it will look like a removable storage device. (Make sure it’s the right one!)

·         From the drop-down menu click on Format.

·         A dialogue box pops up.

·         The Capacity shows the size of the memory card.

·         The File System shows the storage structure of the card. If it is a 64GB card or higher, select the exFAT but if it is a 32GB card or lower, select the FAT52(Default).

·         The Volume Label is used to name the inserted memory card.

·         Under Format options, check the Quick format box. This will speed up the formatting process.

·         Click the Start button.

·         The formatting process could take some time depending on the size of the card.
