Hi Alice,
Yes there is a way to convert to NTFS. Open a Command Prompt and key in:
convert c: /fs:ntfs
hit ENTER
The above assumes that the drive you want to convert is drive c If the
drive that you want to convert is a different drive letter, then key in the
appropriate drive letter.

To convert a volume to NTFS:
1. Open the Command Prompt window.
2. In the command prompt window, type " convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs "
For example: convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format.

In addition to Patti's and JB's responses. I would like to add that once
converted from FAT32 to NTFS, you cannot go back to FAT32.
It is a one-way street.

Under normal circumstances, you can safely convert the partition to
NTFS whenever desired, without having to format the partition and
reinstall everything. As always when performing any serious changes,
back up any important data before proceeding, just in case. A little
advance preparation is also strongly recommended, so you can avoid any
performance hits caused by the default cluster size:
