I have 3 Micro SD's I have 2 64 gig Micro SDs namely Toshiba an Sandisk both are not detected by Xiaomi Mi Max, However, it is detected by my personal laptop and work laptop. I have reformatted them exfat 32, still not detected. But my 8 gig Micro SD was not reformatted was working both to my Xiaomi Mi Max, my Huawei Tablet and detected as well by laptop.

Please assist me on what to do?
 
Does the phone even register an SD Card is inserted and it's unreadable or does it just not show up?

If the former, try installing SD Insight and have it analyse the card(s) to see if they're legit.
 
Does not even show up for my Toshiba 64 gig micro SD. For my Sandisk 64 gig it is detected that it was inserted prior to reformatting it however, it cannot be opened. Both 64 gig micro sd files are showing in my Laptop. My Xiaomi Mi Max can detect Micro SD up to 128 gig as a feature of the phone. Both 64 gig micro SD are working properly on Samsung S3 before it died.
 
@El Presidente Both Micro SD cards are legit. I have a application (SD insight) that detects bot 64 gig micro SDs are legit or not. I have reformatted my SanDisk couple times already it works on other gadgets

reformat it to fat 32.  your computer can read more types of formats than your phone. you need to use fat 32 for android.

Yup, the SD must be formatted as FAT32 for the Xiaomi to be able to use it.

exFAT is proprietary and patented by Microsoft, and although it can be supported by Android, many manufacturers like Xiaomi choose not to implement it. Because otherwise they have to pay lots of $$$ in patent licensing fees to Micro$oft.
