convert fat32 to ntfs?

[lodore]

Hello,
on my sisters laptop there is two partitions.
C: and D:
both are fat32.
I would like to convert them both to ntfs since analysing the partitions with diskeeper trial takes ages.
also ntfs is a better file system.
so if i open up cmd and type convert D: /fs:ntfs
would this convert the fat32 file system to ntfs without losing any data on that partision?
I have moved the paging file from C: to D: since there is hardly anything on D:
i was just gonna do it but just wanted to check quickly first.
thanks in advance

That is correct.
The disadvantage of a conversion from FAT32 is that the cluster size won't be 4k, like when you format a partition with NTFS. The result of a conversion is actually not efficient.
(I know you are going to ask: ) Paragon Hard Disk Manager is an example of software that is able to modify the cluster size.
