Why should I convert NTFS to FAT?

You may try sharing the difference of the two. While they are both created to keep track of your files in the computer. NTFS gives you a much faster retrieval of files, more secured, automatically provides compression of files. However, NTFS is not advisable to be used on portable media as the users may find it difficult to access NTFS drives.
