Is there such a thing as an adapter for Mac External hard drives to PCs?

I used to have a MacBook Pro. I had to buy a special external hard drive specifically for Macs to transfer files and projects over to. My Mac broke and I ended up buying s PC because that was what I could afford at the time. But now, my files and projects are stuck on my eternal hard drives because I can't open them to work off them on my PC. I do not want to buy another Mac just to get these things off. Does anyone know of a solution? Is there an adaptor I may be able to get or something to avoid buying another computer? Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem about 10yrs ago and left it in a professional's hands when I couldn't figure it out for myself. It ended up costing me more than buying a new Mac LOL

Apparently, you can read a Mac drive on PC if you format it correctly. I still can't help with that but you'll find a lot of useful links if you Google, "How to Convert an External Hard Drive From Apple to PC".

The only thing I have left to add, is please make sure you back up LOL
