I have external hard drives that I use with my windows laptop, now. Can
I connect these to my new Mac?
If they're formatted with FAT32 or ExFAT, the mac should be able to read
them. If they're formatted with NTFS (the Windows file system), you can
only read them with third-party software. Your best option in that case
would be to connect them to a Windows machine and then access the data
remotely from the Mac so you can copy it. Both macOS and Windows support
Microsoft's Server message Block (SMB) protocol, which allows files to
be accessed remotely.
