That is your boot partition. You can’t / wouldn’t want to change the filesystem of that partition. You could very easily cause your Windows OS to not load.
Why do you want to do that? That's your boot partition (the thing the motherboard looks at to determine where the rest of the OS is). Changing that format scheme could break your install.
Fortnite won’t install with the system in fat32 and the rest in nfts

You’re doing something wrong
Good luck!
What's the exact error message you receive from fortnight? That's what you need to resolve, cause there's nothing wrong with what you've originally posted, but if you do find a way to do what you originally asked you WILL break your system.
I resolved it, the default download location was in the system file for some reason, I had to manually set the download location to the C: drife for it to work
The boot sequence looks for a FAT based partition to boot from. If you convert it to NTFS, then your system won't boot up. The fact that Fortnite won't install should tell you that you are doing something wrong with Fortnite. In fact, NO game should ever mess with your installation like that.
Fix Fortnite, NOT your partitions.
