Transfer / Convert files from APFS to NTFS

My father uses Photoshop and Lightroom for photo editing on his Mac, running High Sierra. His computer recently died and he's interested in changing over to a Windows 10 machine.

The main issue is getting his photos that he's worked on, which are on separate external hard drives to convert over to the windows file system. I believe we need to go from APFS to NTFS. I'm unsure of the best way to transfer roughly 20TB of data from one to the other.

I don't know if this is a factor but it is a must to avoid data compression or loss. The files should be the same quality once they transfer over.
