So I'm trying to format my 64 GB SD card, using the instructions on the Raspberry Pi website (for Windows). They say to run the SD Formatter with Format Size Adjustment set to ON. But in the SD Formatter that they link to, the option doesn't exist.
Every place I have looked uses the exact same instructions, with pictures showing the selection of Format Size Adjustment, but they all seem to be using versions 3 or 4 of the SD Formatter. It seems they have upgraded to 5 and no longer have Format Size Adjustment as an option?
Figuring that maybe the new version simply handles it automatically, I tried following the rest of the instructions (for installing NOOBS). But when I tried booting up the Pi, I got 2 green flashes and that's it - which most information says is caused by the disk not being formatted correctly.
So now I'm back where I started. I tried finding earlier versions of the SD Formatter but wasn't able to. Anyone know what to do here?

, you could just forget about this and grow it post install -- for which ideally you need another linux system (e.g., a live CD or virtual machine, or two SD cards and a USB adapter) which is a good thing to have if you are going to be fiddling with Pi's in any case.
