connect the card with a card reader (or card reader slot if available)
right click >>format>>select ntfs.

i prefer fat format, is is faster and more compatible.
but if you have any particular purpose, you can use ntfs and have an option return to fat/fat32 by the same method.

Hello, there shouldn’t be a problem with it.  You can also use the convert command if you do not want to format it.

convert *: /fs:ntfs
