After creating my Win10 VM template and installing qubes-windows-tools I created a new VM based on this template. I then entered it and tried to format the private disk as NTFS, but it won't work: "Windows was unable to complete the format".

FAt and FAT32 work!

How can I format in NTFS? And which one should I use: NTFS, FAT or FAT32?

I thought Windows tools was only for the old expired qubes 3.. I dont see any new windows tools out i could be wrong.. I installed windows 10 HVM no problem with internet access, but none of my audio of video Ethernet connected equipment could communicate so I just got another ssd and installed windows 10 on its own ssd boot menu from bios real easy... if u do that, be sure to physically remove the qubes ssd or windows will screw it up and vise versa. I had a few days in hell dealing with that fiasco..
