OK, I find myself somewhat confused here; does this mean that if I have an
existing external drive that had been created via Windows NTFS format (yes,
complete with desired files) that I will not be able to simply hook it up to
my (as of yet not purchased) Mac unless I install specialized software on
the Mac to access that drive?

Hi,
I've got an external drive that I have formatted as x fat and it works well
with both the mac and windows.

Hi,
You can use software, or, you can format as X Fat, which works fine on
both, or, you could share the drive if using a VM.

Hi,
I have an external hard drive that I’d like to read and write to on both
Mac and Windows.
I found an oldish article (from 2012) suggesting that I could use either
NTFS software on Mac or HFS+ software on Windows to accomplish this,
rather than dealing with the drawbacks of using FAT32.
Does anyone have any experience of this and have a view as to which
solution is most accessible?
Thanks,
Ed
