I'm interested to get a new iMac M4, but I'm a Windows user.
Can I use my existing Windows formatted external hard drives to read and write in iMac?
What can I do with my existing files and documents in external hard drives?
Please help. Thank you!

Macs can read NTFS-formatted drives – but cannot write to them without the aid of third-party drivers.
You might want to copy files from NTFS-formatted drives to Mac-formatted ones. There are two main Mac formats.
In either case, you would want format a drive as NON-case-sensitive – and for Mac OS Extended format, you would want to choose the Journaled option.
Another possibility is to install a third-party NTFS filesystem driver, such as Paragon NTFS .
