    Updated some recent Gigabyte mini-pc using EFI shell the other month. I had to have a USB flash drive with FAT32

      I have a client that does HVAC work who needed help preparing a 128GB flash drive for loading firmware onto high end thermostats. Quickly ran the command to format as FAT32 because that’s what the thermostats require (and he indicated the firmware files would exceed the 32GB limit in the GUI)

        Are you formatting it using the windows disk manager? Any 3rd party tool will allow you to go above the 32GB limit.
