I'm new to switching from Mac to PC and have many drives from past projects. I'm curious about converting them to standard Windows drives since I've heard some concerns about MacDrive affecting file systems. On OSX, spaces in filenames aren't an issue, but I recall that was a problem on the Mac side too. So far in Windows 10, I haven't encountered any issues, so I'm wondering if this is really a thing now. I don't plan to use older operating systems on my PC and wanted your advice.

It seems you're being monitored. You should be aware that all your input and actions are shared with Microsoft. Edit: but welcome to the family, my friend!

Used spaces in file names starting from Windows ME (before XP). Think you’re okay with that? My thoughts: I’m a bit concerned about various partition types for these disks, but I’m not really familiar with Apple stuff.

This situation seems to be happening with Apple as well.
