I have the (working) hard drive from my old Mac (2007 13' black case) but the computer itself has no power. I'd like to use an external hard drive reader to recover the data to my new MacBook Pro (2011 15' aluminum case.) What type of reader should I get? Anything else I need?
Hello, Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this. Unfortunately there is no such application in Windows to read MAC files on an external hard drive. Other than allowing you to read Mac drive on Windows, MacDrive 10.5 will also help you manage your drives. Partition and create HFS or APFS on Windows and fix any issue with your drives. Whether it is a floppy drive, flash drive or hard drive, this software will handle it.

Alternately, could I take the old hard drive out of the old machine and swap it into the new one, thereby allowing me to back up to an external hard drive (which I have on hand?) Or are these not compatible in this way?

I'm kind of a n00b, but I'm learning! Thanks in advance for any help 🙂
