The NTFS file extension is a file system developed by Microsoft for use with its Windows operating systems. The NTFS file system was first introduced with Windows NT 3.1, and is the default file system for current versions of Windows. The NTFS file system is designed to handle larger amounts of data, allowing for larger disk sizes and support for larger files. It is also designed to be more secure than other existing file systems, making it better suited for use with sensitive data or in corporate environments.
The NTFS file system utilizes a Master File Table (MFT) as well as other compartments for storing and organizing data, including security descriptors. The MFT keeps track of all files on the drive and their respective locations. When a file is written to disk, its entry in the MFT is updated to show its new location. Due to its enhanced security, the NTFS can also encrypt files and password protect them. It can also assign ownership rights and enforce access control policies.

Other similar file systems include: FAT32, exFAT, HFS+/HFSX, and EXT2/EXT3/EXT4.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NTFS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .NTFS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .NTFS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .NTFS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .NTFS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NTFS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NTFS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .NTFS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NTFS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NTFS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
