Tuxera NTFS is a kernel extension that enables full read and write access to Windows NTFS-formatted drives on macOS. It installs as a preference pane in macOS System Settings, allowing users to manage NTFS mount behavior and settings. The extension is used by Mac users who regularly work with NTFS drives from Windows systems, whether for data interchange, backup operations, or collaborative environments. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTuxera NTFS already ships with native Apple Silicon support as of version 2020.1 and later. Since this is a kernel extension component (not a standalone application), it is updated by downloading and running the vendor's official installer from Tuxera's website — reinstalling via the installer will replace your Intel-only build with the native Universal Binary. Visit tuxera.com, download the current macOS installer, and run the installation package to update your kernel extension. The new native build will automatically disable and replace your previous Intel version. No separate preference pane settings change is needed; your existing NTFS mount preferences carry over after installation.
