A commercial product, Paragon's APFS for Windows allows for read and write support to APFS volumes in all versions of Windows from Windows 7 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2008 R2 through Windows Server 2022, but it is unable to format or verify APFS volumes, and it cannot read APFS volumes which are hardware-encrypted against the [[Apple T2]] security chip.<ref>{{cite web |title=APFS for Windows {{!}} Paragon Software |url=https://www.paragon-software.com/home/apfs-windows/ |website=Paragon Software Group |access-date=29 January 2024}}</ref>
