    By Ed Tittel

    When Windows first made its debut in November 1985 — coming up on 40 years ago — it included support for a single file system named FAT.

    That’s short for File Allocation Table, a simple-minded table of on-disk (or diskette, at the time) locations where files reside, along with information about their names and attributes.

    Today, Windows supports multiple versions of FAT. Windows 10 and 11 also support two other built-in file systems.
