Windows will by default format everything larger than 32gb as exfat. Exfat is a file system that requires licensing, thus not available everywhere.
With Linux based readers, you have the option to format the sdcard as fat32 (you'll need 3rd party tools for that) or ext4 (a Linux based file system). fat32 is not optimized for such large sizes and you'll lose a lot of space just for the file managing part of the file system. Ext4 is optimized for large sizes and also better optimized for speed.
If you have the option (e.g. download a knoppix ISO to boot from it) you may be better off to format the sdcard from there using ext4 as file system. With the magic of MTP USB connections, you can still use Windows to fill up those GiB
