I'm trying to format my 64 GB USB flash drive to FAT32, but when I turn on Disk Management, there is no option for FAT32, only exFAT and NTFS. I thought it could be done since it shows 99%, but then there is a 'The volume is too big' error bump up.

Yes, you can format a 64GB flash drive to a FAT32 file system. However, as Windows tools (Disk Management or Command Prompt) can only format disks smaller than 32GB, you should turn to reliable third-party software. EaseUS Partition Master Free is your best choice as a free and comprehensive formatter.
Follow the easy steps to complete the FAT32 format process:
Step 1. Connect your USB drive to your PC that installed EaseUS Partition Master.
Step 2. Launch this software, go to the Partition Manager tab, select the USB partition, and choose "Format."
Step 3. Set the File system as FAT32, then confirm the procedure and begin formatting.
If your USB is NTFS and you don't want to lose important data on it. EaseUS Partition Master also provides an advanced feature—NTFS to FAT. This feature can convert NTFS to FAT32 without erasing data on your USB.
Refer to the following tutorial:
Step 1. Choose the target partition by opening EaseUS Partition Master.
Step 2. Select "Advanced" > "NTFS to FAT" and verify the alert.
Step 3. Apply and carry out the assignment.
