If my computer can not recognize SDXC, will the formating still be ok?
My 64GB SD card should be formatted as FAT32 (will host a Raspbian), however it is recognized as 32GB, after I've tried formatting the card with a Win7, Win10, and an Ubuntu.
Only my smartphone can view it as 64GB, after using the phone's formatting tool (but it was in exFAT, i think)
Can I ignore this and go further with installing the OS on it ?
As far as I've read, this is due to hardware/drivers unable to "view" the 64GB, but did the formatting actually did its job properly on the entire card ?
I won't need 64GB (but it was cheaper than the 32GB..). Will I have any issues in the future or can I just keep using it as a 32GB ?
Thanks & Happy new year

If I remember correctly the raspbian install process (first boot) actually shrinks the fat32 partition and creates a new ext format partition to hold files and the actual system, so the initial size is unimportant. Only a comment as it has been a few years since I last tried it.
