Open "Computer Management". Select "Disk Management" under "Storage". For each local volume, if the file system does not indicate "NTFS", this is a finding. "ReFS" (Resilient File System) is also acceptable and would not be a finding. “CSV” (Cluster Share Volumes) is also acceptable and would not be a finding. This does not apply to system partitions such as the Recovery and EFI System Partition.
