Hello,

I am currently working on my first build and I want to be able to dual boot, however my biggest concern is being able to have one shared hard drive for both macOS and Windows that I can use to open up documents. I wasn't sure if there was a way, but since I did see that there is a chance that macOS supports NTFS, I wanted to know if it is possible and if so, how can I make it happen?

Thanks!

If it is documents only and they are less than 2GB in size, create a partition and format it MSDOS FAT (FAT32).
Both Windows and OS X can read/write natively to FAT32. Only caveat here is the partition must be less than 1TB since that is the size limit for FAT32 file system.
