I have two hard drives, one have Arch Linux and the other one Windows 10, I know I can't write from W10 to linux (although there are applications for that but is not recommended). But what about writing from Linux to W10?

I mean I actually write from Linux to my NTFS external hard drive all the time, but I wanted to ask this just in case that there were some differences between an external hard drive (which is just for storing files) and a normal hard drive which have an OS installed (in this case windows 10).

  • NTFS-3G has been stable for more than a decade. Every major Linux distribution for that amount of time has supported it out of the box.

Yes, you can read and write NTFS from Linux. NTFS has been supported since 2006. NTFS is a file system, so where the file system resides, internal or external, is irrelevant.
