External HD Mac to Wind 10 Access Help

[cramercosmo]

I have an external hardrive formatted for Mac but I only have a windows 10.  Every time I plug in the external it says it was partitioned for another OS and the Western Digital (WD) has to be Partition for window 10 to read.  Basically I have pics on my external I want to check on before I reformat the external.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

NTFS = windows' file store system, can be read/written to by mac with a simple plugin (idk if you need the plugin)

HFS+ = mac's file store system, can not be read/written to by windows

 

you cannot use a windows machine to get the pics, you need an apple machine (idk if linux works)
