Which way would you go? i'd definitely consider NTFS under linux somewhere around 95-98% "solved", yeah. it's largely painless these days. there is this SO question: https://superuser.com/questions/37512/how-to-read-ext4-partitions-on-windows but it's from 2013 and i have no idea how well those might operate under more recent windows- and i can't provide any feedback as i haven't had to do this in at least a decade. ... oh, wait, here we go, windows 7 and ext4: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2099399
