How to Restore Files From a Time Machine Backup on Windows
Windows normally can't read Time Machine backups -- in fact, it doesn't even understand the HFS+ file system format Macs require on their Time Machine drives.

Has some suggestions.
That is basically what I have done for my most important files, but I do have backup software that has both Windows and Mac versions. (Acronis True Image)
The MBP is gone, CCC would be a safety net and alternate method - TimeMachine isn;t without issues and having even two such would be prudent. Along with Carbon Copy Cloner.
For Windows I've relied on Paragon Software: HFS+ and NTFS, Hard Disk Manager for full set of backup, partitioning and managing storage.

How is it compared with Mediafour's MacDrive mentioned in the article linked by @bobcomer ?
Do they preserve the original file creation date or they will change the date to whenever copying of the files to a Windows's drive?
Due to various limitations of M1 Mac, I am moving to all Windows/Linux at least for the time being.
