In Linux system, you can easily access any file system under Windows by default. But on the other hand, you cannot access/display any file system under Linux in Windows system. Instead, you have to ask some third party software for help.

It can realize the function of accessing ExtFS partition of Linux system under Windows system, supports mounting multiple ExtFS partitions, supports Ext2, Ext3, Ext4 file system, and is perfect for Windows + Linux dual system users.

If you have both Windows and Linux installed on your computer, and need to transfer files between them, or want to quickly fix problems on one system when you can’t access the other, then you can use Linux File Systems for Windows to take full control of the various file systems under Linux from Windows, without having to reboot your computer or go through a USB storage device or online storage for transit.
