Why each option
To change a file system from FAT32 to NTFS while preserving existing data, the `convert` command-line utility is the correct tool to use.
The `convert` command is specifically designed to perform an in-place conversion of a FAT, FAT32, or exFAT volume to NTFS without requiring reformatting or data loss, by using the syntax `convert drive_letter: /fs:NTFS`.
`diskpart` is a command-line utility for managing disk partitions and volumes but does not directly convert file systems while preserving data.
`change` is not a recognized Windows command for file system conversion.
The `fdisk` command, which is primarily for partitioning hard drives in older operating systems, is not the correct tool for converting a file system from FAT32 to NTFS in Windows.
