NTFS won't write to FAT32. NTFS is a filesystem just like FAT32. And so the NTFS driver will only ever write to NTFS-formatted media, as will the (V)FAT driver only ever write to (V)FAT-formatted media.

Perhaps that was bad|sloppy phrasing on my part. What do you call the operation of copying files from NTFS (Windows 10) to FAT32 (Windows knows of the removable mass storage device) then?
