Thanks, this is really helpful

OMG THIS WORKED!! thank you! I have been struggling so long with this

great video!

U saved me I can’t thank u enough I’ve had this 16tb hard drive for so long and I could never get it to work cause when I would download stuff on it it would just disappear all i had to do it change the format

Great tutorial...it worked for me,

Super helpful, I had a drive I formated back when I had my Mac, after selling it, I didn't format the Ext hd. I though I needed a Mac to format it again 🤦🏽

How do you undo this - on pc

You're awesome. Thank you

Great - with your help I now know how to transfer my whole Windows universe to Apple. Thank you.

So if you set it as exfat on the Mac will the hard drive be read on the windows pc immediately without formatting?
So it has to be set as exfat on both Mac and windows pc for the hard drive on both?

Thanks for the super helpful video. Transferring every file and hard drive I have on Mac to a 6tb to use on my new pc

I’m leaving M1 Mac Mini with 4T external drive for a serious PC workstation. I want the external to be plugged into my new PC. The part that worries me is where I put the data in between reformatting. Dropbox? My external is a G-Drive. Can it be reformatted to exfat? I bought it from Apple. Any other links you can share for my migration to PC would be helpful. I’ve been only a Mac user my whole life (I’m 50!). Thanks for the video!

Nice

Very helpful! I have my external hard drive from my pc- just bought an old 2015 Macbookpro. I need my files to read &write on the mac!
I just ordered a new SD card- I will follow your tips to format it so I can access the info on both computers! Thanks👍

@lapfix Thank you! This tutorial was everything! This just totally saved me. 😆🙏

Hmm 🥴

Since older I macs can't upload current software is there an external software ability via USB port.

Thanks for the simple explanation on this.. Much appreciated..

If it’s so convenient to do XFAT why isn’t that the standard option for drives to begin with?
I have a MAC formatted external drive and want to switch all my files to windows computer. Can I get a new drive, format to xfat, and transfer all my mac files, data, pics, videos, to my windows PC by copy and pasting from mac format drive to the xfat drive?

is there any way to do this without formatting?

WOO HOO! It worked! Thank you!! Mac to exFat on a pc.

If this works I'll be extremely happy
It is probably working

My hard drives isn’t popping up on my pc

Great video! You just saved a bar drive that I thought was broke

Love the energy brother, thank you for this video!
