macOS and Windows have a lot of differences, one of the main ones is the file system. And while NTFS disks can at least be read on a Mac, Windows cannot see disks formatted in HFS+ at all. But if you really need it, there are several workarounds.
Situations when this may be needed vary. The most common is accessing your files from Windows installed via Boot Camp (read-only files are available by default). In such cases, they either install the HFS+ driver, which adds support for the Apple file system in Windows, or use special utilities that can already work with HFS+. We will consider both options plus one more, bonus.
Method 1. Working with HFS+ through drivers
The good thing about the drivers is that they add support for HFS+ at the system level, which means Mac drives will appear in Explorer and other applications. The driver is loaded when Windows starts, and the difference between file systems simply ceases to exist: you can work with disks of any format.
The main advantage of drivers is that they support both reading and writing files. In addition, this method provides the highest possible data transfer speed. As a disadvantage, we can mention the high price: all popular drivers that provide stable operation are quite expensive.
Paragon HFS+ for Windows
The most popular driver with full support for HFS+ on disks of any type (GPT and MBR) and a set of additional utilities. It features high performance when transferring large files over various interfaces, including SATA and USB. Compatible with Windows 10.
The license is relatively inexpensive - 790 rubles. There is also a 10-day trial version.

MacDrive
More powerful driver with additional features. MacDrive can do everything the Paragon driver does, but it also allows you to open Time Machine backups and copy files from them to Windows disks. The driver also works in virtual machines and allows you to mount Mac disks in Target Disk Mode for loading on other computers.
MacDrive costs more - as much as $50. There is also a trial version, but for 5 days.

Method 2. Working with HFS+ through utilities
Working with Mac drives through dedicated applications provides more limited support for HFS+. In this case, access to the file system will be possible only in them, and the drives will not even be displayed in Explorer. Typically, applications only allow you to view and copy files, but not write.
Utilities for working with HFS+ are much cheaper, and there are even free ones. This method is suitable for those who only need to read files. In addition, using no-installation utilities, you can view files from Mac drives on computers where you cannot install a driver or third-party software.
HFSExplorer
A simple and, importantly, free utility that will allow you to view files from HFS+ disks in a Windows environment. HFSExplorer opens the contents of Mac disks in the form of a directory tree, where you can select the files you need. To view them you need to copy them to a Windows disk. It is also possible to create images of HFS+ disks for subsequent work with them.
The HFSExplorer utility is not as convenient as drivers and can only view files, but it doesn’t cost a penny.
TransMac
Like HFSExplorer, TransMac does not install drivers on the system, but opens access to HFS+ drives inside its window. Moreover, the application does not need to be installed at all, so it can be used on a work computer or at a party. In this case, not only reading, but also writing data is available. There is even support for changing and formatting partitions on HFS+ drives.
The utility will be useful to anyone who for some reason does not want (or cannot) install drivers, but needs full support for HFS+.
The license cost is $59, the trial period is 15 days.

Bonus
If you don’t want to spend money and bother installing drivers or additional utilities, you can do it differently: use a Live-USB Linux distribution. By booting from it, you will have access to all your drives, including HFS+ and NTFS, and then you can view or copy any files on them. Ubuntu, for example, can do this.
The installation image usually also has a Live USB, so all you have to do is download the image and burn it to a USB flash drive.
