Use the free editing app you are entitled to from Canon. go to Canon support and then enter you model # (90D) and go to downloads and software. They may ask for your serial number. Enter your operating system if it doesn't recognize it automatically and you will get a choice of apps to download. The free editing app is "Digital Photo Professional". Select, download and install the latest version for your OS.

You open raws just as you would any other format in any software assuming you have that camera's profile in the software. We can advise you better if you tell us what program you are using. The operating system has nothing to do with your question.

The operating DOES have something to do with the question. Mac's Photos app can read RAW. Windows' built-in Photos app cannot. A program with RAW capability is required.
Canon gives you, free , Digital Photo Professional, a very good RAW (and JPEG etc.)editing system.

That is not an OS issue. Even as you write it, it is clearly an issue of the app that reads the photo. The only differences among apps is whether or not they have the profile for your camera and if it updates profiles automatically. Again, that has nothing to do with the OS.
DPP might be "a very good RAW...editing system" for certain parameters but it is nowhere as good as Lightroom overall.

Windows reads raw. My Canon raw reads just fine in Windows.

Again, Windows does not read RAW. The app reads it and non-OS utilities that come along with Windows happen to have the profiles.

Well my windows does just fine. Click on a raw photo and it opens up for viewing just fine. Your windows must be broken.

That's not Windows reading RAW. Its a PROGRAM you are using in Windows that can read RAW. Or an add-in to an editing program....GIMP for example. Without addin it does not read RAW.

No problem here. All I do is raise the blind and look at that, a gorgeous picture.

You must have some app installed that you are not aware of. Unmodified Windows 10 DOES NOT READ RAW.

I have no program.
Your Windows is broken
I have installed nothing just put Windows on the computer and raw opens.

OK, guys, part of the full windows install is a set of apps Microsoft adds on. At least one of those (strangely it is named "Photos") can read RAW files and when a new camera with new form of RAW appears you can bet that in the not too distant future one of those Microsoft updates is going to include the changes necessary to read the new form of RAW (at least for the major brands).
Oh, and Google and other major browsers include photo viewing sub apps also.
On a Win 10 machine to check which you are using got to "Settings", then click on Apps, then click on "Default Apps" then go to the type of App and it shows which it is using. If you want to see which choices you have and maybe change your default "doubleclick" on the app and a little window opens with all the viewing apps on your machine and the choice of going to the Microsoft Store to obtain a different one.
I am currently using the one that comes as part of
Google Chrome. But I have used the Microsoft supplied "Photos".
Yikes, emergency edit, wrong computer, this one I am on now uses "Picassa Photo Viewer"
The greatest things about photography are the 1s and the 0s.
