    WD external hard drive

    I'm currently running windows 10 and I have a WD MY BOOK 3T EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. My laptop is a DELL LATITUDE E6530. When I plug in the hard drive, neither of the laptop or windows recognizes that its plugged in except for in device manager. and there's
    no opening it. I used it before windows 10 but now it says I can't restore to Windows 7 because I didn't have restore set up. I'm not even sure that's the problem. All I know is that I've accessed it before without any problems but its been quite some time.
    I'm needing suggestions or remote help to tell me what the problem is because I need it to open up space on the laptop

    My WD Passport external hard drive won't open. It's listed in device manager and in the properties is listed as "working properly".

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
