The ''Transaction-Safe Extended FAT File System'' (TexFAT), TexFAT provides similar functionality to TFAT using the [[exFAT]] file system as the base file system instead of FAT. Introduced with [[Windows Embedded CE 6.0]], it is sometimes referred to as ''TFAT'' as well, which can lead to confusion with the original TFAT described above.<ref name=MSTexFAT>[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc907927.aspx Transaction-Safe Extended FAT File System]</ref>

The use of exFAT as the underlying file system allows for larger files and larger partitions. TexFAT requires a hardware-specific driver designed for the type of media on which the TexFAT volume resides.<ref name=MSTexFAT />
