”Thanks Littles … am I right that PCs cant’s see APFS? If FAT32 format is no good for Ventura, what is the best format for both PCs and Ventura? Is exFAT an option? Another?

You are welcome.
Use exFAT:
Use an external drive formatted with exFAT would be seen on a PC and on a Mac in System Information… as a connected device, as long as it is mounted on both devices. You just wouldn’t be able to access it, if it is not mounted. As an example, get one of these drives off-the-shelf, and it would be seen: Seagate One Touch SSD. If formatted with APFS, then only the Mac would see it. If formatted with FAT32, only the PC would see it. Note that on the original packaging, Seagate
recommends that you format it with APFS, if you want to use it for Time Machine Backups.
