Hello,

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Mac section or Windows section, but I figured here might be best. I'm not very knowledgeable on computers so bear with me.

My MBP (running Yosemite) died, and I had some files on it that I want to recover. While I was using it I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp. I removed the hard drive from the case, and connected it into my PC. However, only the Windows 7 partition showed up, and not the Mac portion of the drive.

I looked it up and apparently my drive was formatted into 'CoreStorage' from HFS+, so it won't show up even with tools like Paragon HFS+.

Is there any way to access the Mac Partition on Windows 10? The only info I was able to come across was that I had to convert the drive from CoreStorage back to HFS+ on a Mac, but since I don't have one available, is it possible to do so on Windows?

Thanks!

Edit: I tried the MacDrive trial and it works, surprisingly.
