Marking up an NTFS or exFAT USB Flash drive? - BKPB - 07-31-2025

EN
In which markup is it better to format a USB flash drive before Ventoy is written to it ? 
NTFS or exFAT, which would boot without problems on older computers with BIOS and on modern ones with UEFI ?

RU
В какую разметку лучше отформатировать USB flash носитель, перед тем как  на него будет записана Ventoy ? NTFS или exFAT, что бы загружаться без проблем, на старых компьютерах с BIOS и на современных с UEFI  ?

If you don't work with MAC computers, I would say use NTFS.
Otherwise, why not make two Ventoy USB drives, or four if you also want to compare GPT vs MBR partitions.
