For Windows users, you do not really have to know the EXT types.

I just got a usb stick that has exfat file system and I can't format it to ntfs so I'm stuck with the exfat and my win xp can't deal with it so to put files onto it i have to transfer from winXP to back up device then transfer to win10 laptop then to usb stick which is ridiculous. I want to be able to transfer direct from win xp to the usb stick. Its a 512gb stick and I wonder if my notebook would format it from exfat to ntfs without any problems?

exFAT is new and XP could have problems with it. WIn10 has no problems with it.
You can download a bootable cd image of GParted.
You can then format your USB stick into something XP can accept e.g. NTFS
You can also use WIn10 to reformat it into NTFS
