Your newly purchased USB is in FAT32 format, and its biggest disadvantage is that 4GB is the maximum size of a single file while the maximum size of a single partition capacity is 2TB. To solve this problem, you need to change its FAT32 file system into another one: NTFS, which has no such limitation of single files’ size and allows a partition size to be up to 256TB. The simplest operation is reformatting this USB flash drive. Please note that the data will lose so forgot to backup the data

If your USB is empty or contains no important files, using the Windows Format command to format the USB with the NTFS file system is a way.

1. Attach the USB to your computer, wait for Windows to recognize it. Double click on 'My Computer' (XP) or 'Computer' (Vista/Win7) or 'This PC' (Win8) to open File Explorer.

2. Right-click on the USB you want to format with NTFS and select “Format”.

3. Select the NTFS in the File System drop-down menu. Click "Start".

Please note that there is a warning for you that the data on the USB will be erased totally after formatting. Make sure you have backed up everything necessary and click “OK” to continue.

After reformatting it to NTFS files system, you should be able to copy 4GB or larger file to USB
