This is an offshoot of the Fritzbox query.

OS is W10 32 bit, and I vaguely recall that the maximum drive size is 2TB
so, if I attach an external 4TB hard disk and make 2 x 2TB partitions,
will that work and be usable as two separate 2TB drives? Son has 64 bit
system, so could set up the disk on his PC.

I think so. IIRC 32 bit tools will actually be able to partition it ...
