NTFS, fat32, exfat, could I theoretically create my own filesystem? If so would my computer even be able to work with most files or connect to other devices?

    FYI you might be interested in WinBTRFS:

    https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

    Which is basically what you are describing: shoehorning support for a new file system into Windows.

    Linux in particular has all sorts of exotic and special purpose filesystem, like swap on spare GPU VRAM, software managed SSD stacks and such.
