For those who need access to both operating systems
Access ext4 Linux partitions and drives on Windows 10/11
If you have a Linux distribution running on your PC alongside Windows, you will have no problem accessing your Windows drive. NTFS, the default Windows file system, is well supported, and most Linux distributions can mount NTFS drives easily.
The same cannot be said for Windows users, however. Common Linux file systems such as Ext4 are not supported. If you want to access Linux partitions in Windows, you will need to install some additional software to get the job done.
There are several software options for Windows users who want to access their files on Linux. Ext2Fsd has been the go-to option for years, allowing you to read and write to your Linux file systems from within Windows itself.
