Hello,
I have a few questions related to Bootcamp Windows 10.

My config:
MacBook Pro 16' (2019) - MacOS Catalina
Windows 10 Pro - fresh installation with bootcamp assistance.


1. Any ideas how to reverse the trackpad/mouse wheel scroll direction? I google it, but I don't have such setting in the trackpad options in Windows nor the Bootcamp control panel.

2. The brightness is very low compared to MacOS. Even on the highest level it's still too low for my taste. Auto brightness is turned off so this is not the issue.

3. Any reliable and convenient way to transfer files between Mac and Windows?
Because of the MacBook' T2 chip, from Windows I can't see the MacOS partition (APFS), so my hopes to just copy files from there... died.
From the MacOS I see the Bootcamp partition, but as we all know, I can't write files there. I saw a couple of options, but none of them seems reliable.
* Enabling MacOS NTFS write using Terminal - May damage the partitions.
* Using "Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software" - May damage the NTFS partition.
* Using cloud to transfer - Too slow.
* Using external drive with exFAT - File size limit is only 4GB, unusable for me.
* Using external drive with HFS - I have to buy a new external hdd or flash drive and then windows driver for HFS.

Any other options?
 
* Using "Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software" - May damage the NTFS partition.
I've used Paragon's NTFS for Mac for years and I've never seen any evidence of a damaged partition. Where did you get the "May damage the NTFS partition" information?

Reddit. Probably not the best place for information I guess.
I've installed Paragon's NTFS for Mac and I'll test it in the next few days. Hopefully it will do the job without messing with the partition.
