Winodws has a very limited number of "formats" that it can read. FAT32 and NTFS being the two most common. If you have a 1TB drive it is going to be formatted as NFTS (as FAT32 can not use that large of a drive.) Apple has its own format for hard drive.
But it is able to read/use NTFS and FAT32 drives without any problems. You can delete all the files off the drive and use it without doing anything else. Or you could e-format the drive while attached o the MAC using the MAC format.
Either one is fine.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
