Windows requires extra software to read Linux filesystems. I guess that was too hard for OP. Like you said though, a live USB is the way to go.
Older WIndows, this is true. That was an advantage since Windows would think it was the only OS and behave somewhat if you set it up right. But newer Windows can browse Linux fine (may depend on the format). I can see my Ubuntu partition with my Win10 without extra software, which I did need in Win8.
That makes sense, considering Microsoft shoehorned the Linux kernel into NT. It's been several years since I've tried to look at a Linux filesystem from Windows, so I'm not surprised they've updated it now. I do wonder if it can see ZFS or BTRFS, but I don't care enough to look into it lol.
