I fully agree with you, on the question, why would you use NTFS in a Linux environment?? The reason I'm even considering it, is that I can than pick up the case & plug it in my PC as a USB disk. That is a bit easier, because I have multiple "disks" on my NAS that I need to access. Otherwise I would have to mount all these on the Pi in order to copy from there to the Pi.
Apart from that, it makes no sense whatsoever. Thanks for the pointers. I'm going to try it!
I have not found a way to write to EXT4 from Win10. I have a Linux VM on my PC and that has access to the USB ports. Don't know if a VM in Win could write to an EXT4 formatted drive. But going to try it anyway. Little hope, but one never knows.

Well no you wouldn't create an ext4 filesystem on Windows, you'd just ssh into the Pi and do it there as shown with just a few short steps.
As Tim's confirmed though, the simplest option for you might be to format as FAT32 and Moode would do the rest automatically.
