Microsoft Windows employs two major file systems: NTFS and FAT.
NTFS (New Technology File System) was introduced in 1993 with Windows NT and is currently the most common file system for the end user computers based on Windows.
FAT (File Allocation Table) is one of the simplest file system types, which has been around since the 1980s.
ReFS (Resilient File System) file system was developed by Microsoft as a new generation file system for server computers starting from Windows Server 2012.
HFS (Hierarchical File System) is a proprietary file system developed by Apple Inc. for use in computer systems running Mac OS.
