retrieving an apple OS with a windows pc

[Dr.End]

Ok I posted a forum about this once already and people kinda took it the wrong way. My point was not to talk about hackintosh's in general I just wanted help with reading apple media with my windows PC which I am struggling very much so with. 

 

For reference I am trying to pull an apple operating system file off of an SD card from my family member with a windows pc. Does anyone have any programs I could use to do this, preferably free because I'm a broke college student.

 

P.S. Before a mod blocks this thread too I am aware hackintosh discussion is banned (even though LTT has covered making a hackintosh which makes it ironic they don't allow the discussion of something they themselves have done) however all I need is some help on reading apple files with a windows system, matter of fact this would be an issue I'd have anyways if I'd just purchased an apple.

 

 

Long story short how do you read apple files off of SD cards and flash drives when all you have are windows based systems

I can't recall there being any free solutions. I think this https://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows/# has a trial you can use. Using a Linux distro like Ubuntu requires a few tweaks to be able to handle HFS+ with no problems so that might be a better solution.

I'll take a look at that, might have to use the Linux option if HFS+ doesn't read SD cards, thanks for the assist on this though. No one has anything that really covers removable media transfers like this and it was definitely a new jump for me.
