How do I get Porteus to save my system/apps settings?

Hello everyone, I am not new to linux but I am new to Porteus that I have recently had to get for a computer that has HDD problems and therefore can't boot Mint or windows.
I find the MATE and LXQt edtions of Porteus the more comfortable to use and the faster ones, however, my problem is that Porteus (that is currently on a FAT32 USB) won't save ANY of my settings be it system settings or app settings. I know that this is due to Porteus being installed on a FAT32 partition but Windows does not give options to format in ext2. So, what I did was using AOMEI to format the usb drive in ext2 but then the problem is that Windows won't let you do anything with that usb stick until you format it in fat32/nfts or whatever.
tl;dr: how do i get my porteus to install on a ext2 usb drive from windows in order to be able and save my Porteus settings ?
