How To Read A Raspberry Pi SD Card On Windows (Free option)  | TecInd | Scoop.it

When you plug a Raspberry Pi SD into Windows, it will only show one partition (the /boot partition), but your files aren’t on it. Natively, Windows can’t read Linux partitions in the file explorer. It’s a different format, and Microsoft didn’t bother to include tools to read this. In this article, I’ll show you how to fix this.
On Windows, an application like “Linux Reader” is required to read partitions formatted on Linux systems. After installing the software, all partitions are accessible from this tool, even “rootfs” from the Raspberry Pi SD card.
