plex media server needs to recognise external mac HD

Hello.

I've got a MacBook Pro running my Plex server, with all the media on a 8TB Mac-formatted external USB3 drive.

I need to reuse the MBP and am considering sticking the Plex server on a test Windows 10 PC (It's a NUC) I've got hanging around.

All other things being equal if I install HFS+ for Windows 10 on the NUC would it let Plex see the media on the 8TB mac-formatted external drive?

I'm expert at mac, absolute crap at windows.

Appreciate your help, and yes, I know there's a trial period - but I'd rather know upfront.
