Hello, I have a dash cam that ive got, but its max is 32gb micro sd. I have a spare 64gb sd, so to save me buying a new one, is there a way i can shrink it down so its only 32gb? Thanks :)

Open disk management in Windows by right clicking the Windows logo in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Select "Disk Management" In the list of disks, right click the SD card. Select "Format". It will bring up a menu. Under "Allocation unit size" you can change the memory size of the SD card. Wait for it to finish formatting, and you're done!
never done so myself but .... go into format? see if there is a make it this size opp? I do not think so .... hummm maybe if you use partition magic (or disk manager?)
 


Almost certainly not.
Have you just plugged it in and tried it?
