None of them. Maybe this whole thread is not clear enough: you can't use that drive at all, unless you reformat it in NTFS

Westtomfc:
I cant use the addon linker because There is no relink button there now but I cannot reformat the drive.

There's no link in the Addon Linker because also the Addon Linker can't do miracles and allow a feature that is not supported on your drive. You must format the drive, there no other choices.

There might be utilities that allow to do this, but I can't say I tested it. Most of them convert from Fat32 to NTFS without losing data, those that convert from exFat to NTFS are harder to come by.

Don't you have something you can backup the whole thing on ? If you have, just copy the whole MSFS content ( the folder that contains Official and Community ) there, reformat the drive and copy it from the backup.

I got a new HDD with NTFS and moved my entire MSFS to it using steam. Now when I  go into the installer, its still reading that the game is on my E drive which it isnt anymore. Uninstalled FSDT installer and addon manager and re installed and its still reading that MSFS is in E drive when its in D drive. Whats the solution ?

Steam will only move the MSFS executable files, not the Content. If you had the content in a custom location, you must manually edit the last line of your UserCfg.OPT with the new path.

%APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\USERCFG.OPT
