Windows 7 says a 8.6 GB file won't fit in 14.7 GB space? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

It's formatted as FAT32. The largest size file supported on FAT32 is 4GB. You will have to reformat the drive as NTFS or ExFAT.

Solution 2:

The issue is that the target filesystem is FAT32, which only supports files up to 4 GB in size. The error message is not very clear if you've never run into this issue before. You can fill the 14.6 GB space with multiple 4 GB files, but no single file may be larger than 4 GB. You'd need to reformat the disk as NTFS or exFAT to support larger files.
