Check Text (C-277997r1182022_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.
"CSVFS" (Cluster Shared Volumes File Systems) 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-82432r1180696_fix)
Format volumes to use NTFS, ReFS, or CSVFS.
