That's FAT12/16 (floppy/HD) - FAT32, exFAT support VFAT, and case and other
attributes should be retained on {Move,Replace}File{Ex,...}W, from MS docs.
The question may be what holds for ...A functions: those should be wrappers
calling the ...W functions, or the underlying functions.
Sometimes MS add new functions or change parameters you need to use to maintain
legacy behaviour after OS changes.
