Trying to format a multi-partition device (to a single FAT partition, nothing exotic) on #Windows is so much harder than on #Linux. It was faster to grab my own laptop, open #GNOME Disks, delete all partitions, and create a new one, than it would have been to research where Microsoft hid the proper partitioning tools.
So, shoutout to GNOME Disks, it is honestly a pretty damn good user friendly partitioning / formatting tool.
