The standard formatting tools built into Windows are limited, as they only allow partitions up to 32GB to be formatted as FAT32, so to format a 64/128GB partition as FAT32 you need to use a third-party formatting tool.
A simple tool to do this is FAT32 Format which downloads as a single file namedguiformat.exe– no installation is necessary.
GUI version does not work with more than one USB connected devices and SD card adapter is not the first one. I had to download command line version fat32format.exe
Run the SD Formatter tool first to ensure that any other partitions on the SD card are deleted. Then run the FAT32 Format (guiformat.exe) tool, ensure you choose the correct drive letter, leave the other options at their default settings, and click “Start”. After it has finished, you can proceed with the rest of the NOOBS instructions.

had to add a line to config.php
define('FS_METHOD' , 'direct');
To remove black frame (empty space) around the screen just disable ‘overscan’ option in Pi Configuration.
Pi 64-bit:
sudo apt install exfat-fuse
Pi 32-bit: Let’s add exFat and NTFS support to our Raspberry Pi:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install exfat-fuse sudo apt install ntfs-3g
To mount Windows shared directory:
sudo mount -t cifs //ip_address/share_name /home/pi/local_dir -o username=win_user,password=win_pswd,uid=local_user,gid=local_group
Without uid & gid, the directory has been mounted as read-only

there were some concerns about having any chance to get ssl installed on home home computer:
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache sudo certbot --apache
sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
Change (absolute value):
CONF_SWAPSIZE=4096 CONF_MAXSWAP=4096
Update swap file
[ dphys-swapfile setup ] - optional sudo service dphys-swapfile restart

Did not run any benchmarks, but it seems to run faster. Better use a special case with active (preferred) or passive cooling (in my case, the system was unstable at 2GHz)
So, run editor:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Pi 32-bit: find [pi4] and add after for 2GHz (64-bit Buster: there is a line #arm_freq=800):
over_voltage=4 arm_freq=2000 gpu_freq=750
64-bit Buster is missing everything (as of Sep 2020), so let install office applications.
sudo apt install libreoffice -y
That’s it.
