Windows 10: Install WD solid state external HD on my new laptop?

This is the 4th WD I've bought, and it is the first one that didn't have a disk or other device (or instructions) included for installing on my new windows laptop. Was this an oversight? Do I need to complain to Best Buy for short-changing me? Find another backup device?


How the heck can I get it to work if you can't tell me how to install it?


It's too light to be a useful paperweight, and too expensive to be used for squashing bugs but, unless I can install it, what else is it good for?

WD passport external HD not recognized on windows 10

Hi Team,

I have upgraded my Dell inspiron laptop OS from windows 7 to windows 10. I used to connect my WD external HD to my laptop and it was easily accessible in my computer as if it is laptops internal drive.

But, now when I'm trying to connect, it getting connected but it is not showing in my computer. My OS is 64 bit.

I tried solution of uninstalling and then installing HD but it didn't work.

Please suggest how to resolve this.

- You need to format your WD my passport ultra by using low level format:

Visit Link:
WD Support - "How to low level format or write zeros (full erase) to a WD hard drive or Solid State drive "

You need to use "WD SmartWare" or "WD Drive Utility " to format your External Drive.

 

laptop trackpad stopped working with installation of new solid state drive

Having an issue with my laptop's trackpad. I can no longer move the cursor with the touchpad. I have to use the external mouse. This started when I installed a new solid state drive and migrated my data. I think there was a Windows partition that put
some of Windows 10 on its "d" drive. I get this error message...

d:\7d3f1ed370c20ef91e03143f57b0\MouseKeyboardCenter\setup64\

Is there somewhere I can pick this file up? Do I have to search thru my old (removed) drive? ugh.

Thanks.
