You can safely convert your current hard drive 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

performance hits caused by the default cluster size:

You can't. JS was merely recommending it as a back-up mechanism to use
before attempting the conversion.
