That is good info for an empty drive. I have loaded mine with data from my Win 10 laptop. Now I need software for my new Win 11 laptop. The computer recognizes the drive but I can't get info off it. What's going on??
I just got a 1tb Elements ssd, but I have discovered it does not allow password protection like my older WD passport Harddrive did. Am I doinfg somthign wrong, or is it impossible to password protect a elements drive?
Hello, What if the drive is not appearing anywhere on the pc?? This is not a new hard drive and I do have files on it that I do not want to lose! It worked on my old pc, but the new pc (windows 10) is not recognizing it at ALL! I cannot seem to find helpful information on this anywhere. Are you able to help?
Thank you so much kind human from this techno challenged Buddhist in Canada's Capital trying to do a system restore on my pc because someone else is on it spying on me :( Thank you !!! In Loving Kindness, Dee
I just bought a new 5TB WD Elements HDD. There’s a program inside the external hard drive. I clicked and it run the installation. But it was stuck at 18%. It says installing 18%. But it’s been like this for a very long time. What should I do?
You are a genius. I was here half hour, not knowing what to do I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
