I bought a new iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017, with macOS High Sierra 10.13.5) and used Boot Camp to install Windows 10 on it. The Boot Camp drivers seem to have been installed successfully, and most things seem to work, but I am unable to access the Mac partition from Windows.
According to what I have read, the Boot Camp drivers are supposed to have a read-only driver for HFS+, but "Macintosh HD" does not show up for me.
I've read that FileVault could be the problem, but I double-checked, and FileVault is not enabled.
Then I read that the problem might be because of something called Core Storage. So I tried to follow these instructions to revert the partition. However, that only works if Revertible
is Yes
, and in my case, it is No
.

And here are a couple of screenshots from Disk Utility:
Also, here is the Windows version:
HFS+
and notAPFS
? The content hint says it usesHFS+
, but still wondering.APFS
is not directly readable, one needs to use a driver provided byParagon Software
diskutil info /
and look undertype
or just use graphical disk utility inside utilities folder under your apps
