Check Text ( C-73351r1_chk )
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. This does not apply to system partitions such the Recovery and EFI System Partition.

Fix Text (F-79691r1_fix)
Format volumes to use NTFS or ReFS.
