Hi - I have a windows laptop and an external drive with a time machine backup. It has my whole photos library in there which I would like to move over to my new windows machine. I have managed to use a trial version of HFS+ which reads the individual files, but they are all incremental backups and I am not really sure how to do this or even how to do it efficiently. Any suggestions? Thank you.
One can't access a Time Machine backup without launching the Time Machine app on a Mac and entering the backup thru the app. Neither the backup nor the app is + compatible with Windows.
If you want the photos to be accessible to a Windows machine you need to open the Photos libkrary on a Mac and export all of the original photos to folders on an external HD formatted for a Windows machine, FAT 32 or exFat.
