Hey, I heard you just got a prebuilt gaming PC. You're trying to move files and use your SSD from the old 2010 MacBook Pro on the new machine. The system recognizes it but File Explorer doesn't show it. You might need to check BIOS settings or perform a partitioning process—don’t worry, you won’t lose all your files if you do it right.

MacOS doesn’t rely on NTFS or FAT by default; those are the formats Windows understands. You’ll need to transfer files to a USB stick or similar device on the MacBook before moving them to your PC. The MacBook drive can be set up in Disk Management for compatibility with Windows, though you’ll lose the data afterward.

Some tools enable Windows to access a Mac drive. Options include searching for "Mac Drive" or "HFS Explorer." This isn't an ideal fix, but it functions as a temporary workaround. For lasting results, consider converting your SSD to NTFS format.
