Was there just some other problem(s) with the disk? I didn't think to check Wikipedia, duh!īut I do wonder why I found a number of posts saying people couldn't read exFAT disks in Win7, and even some having problems in Win10. Is there 3rd-party sw that will enable Win7 to read the disk?Īll this probably shows I'm confused about Mac file formats.ĮxFAT support goes back to Windows XP (with updates installed) and everything since then, so you should be fine. I thought it best to ask for advice before trying.Ģ. Can Win10 natively read an exFAT formatted disk? (I don't need to write to it, just transfer the data to my Windows hd.) The programs that say they can read Mac file system disks in Windows speak only about APFS and HFS formatted ones - no mention of exFAT on the ones I found.ġ. There are a number of programs that say they can format a disk as exFAT in Windows, but they are silent about _reading_ an exFAT disk. It seems clear that Win7 can't natively do this. Somewhat ambiguous info seems to say that Win10 can do this, but its not clear to me whether its talking about APFS and/or HFS rather than exFAT.Ī number of posts on other places say they have run into problems trying to do this in Win 10, being prompted to format the disk - which of course I don't want to do. I need to read an exFAT formatted microSD disk in Windows 10 and possibly in Win7 (both Pro version).
