Looking for Ready NAS 6 Pro and NV+ CFIS replacment solution
So I have a Pro 6 and a NV+ but since Windows wants to be secured it doesn't allow this CFIS format any more. Now how can I use anyway these NASes in the Explorer with the other offered formats?

There's a brief guide here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/ReadyNAS-3100-Maximum-HDD-size/m-p/1664134#M151232
Note this will reformat your disks - you'll need to reconfigure the NAS and restore all the files from a backup.
Also, the setup isn't supported by Netgear - meaning that paid support won't be available to you, and there is no guarantee that OS-6 will always run on your pro. However, people have been running OS-6 on their Pro and Ultra NAS since 2013.
