The conversion will not cause any lose, however backup is allways
reccommended

The mere fact that you asked this question is, in my opinion, an
indication that you would be well advised to stick to FAT32. The
benefits of NTFS are less than obvious for an individual, non
professional use and a good understanding of the constraints of NTFS is
necessary before making the jump if you do not want to regret it.
