Linux File Systems for Windows

Linux File Systems for Windows (Paragon ExtFS) is a one-of-a-kind utility that allows you complete control over the Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 file system in Windows. It enables you to operate with a Linux native file system on Windows. 

Paragon's "Linux File Systems" is a groundbreaking piece of software that effortlessly integrates Linux file systems into the Windows 11/10 environment. This program, designed for people who work on both platforms, removes the barriers between Linux and Windows file systems, resulting in a seamless and efficient cross-platform experience. 

Simply plug your hard disk with ExtFS partitions into your computer to read and change any media on the Linux partitions. LVM (Logical Volume Management) supports read/write operations. Paragon Software's Linux File Systems for PC is a one-of-a-kind utility that offers you complete control over Linux volumes within Windows. 

Highlights 

Supported file systems 
Read/write: Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4. Read-only: Btrfs and XFS. 

Write Access. 
When an ExtFS volume is mounted in write mode, you can do anything with the files and folders it contains, including read, edit, delete, rename, and create new. 

Automount automatically mounts compatible volumes at startup, eliminating the need to manually mount them when restarting or powering on. However, this feature can be removed at any time in the software interface. 

Volume administration involves formatting, checking integrity, and repairing corrupted ExtFS volumes with minimal effort. 

Internationalization 
Supports all of your operating system's character sets, including those that employ non-Roman characters, so you'll never be unable to access file names on volumes mounted in a non-native OS. 

Read and write support for LVM (Logical Volume Management) 
With this application, your Linux's logical volume management will retain all of its functions: it will be able to execute open, close, read, and write operations, as well as generally function normally. 

Compatible with third-party software. 
Because the solution enables worldwide access to Linux volumes across the entire operating system, you can use any desktop or encryption application.
