| Open "Computer Management". Select "Disk Management" under "Storage". For each local volume, if the file system does not indicate "NTFS", this is a finding. "ReFS" (resilient file system) is also acceptable and is not a finding. CSV ( Cluster Shared Volumes) is not a finding. This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition. |
