Windows 10: External Hardrive USB

Hi,


I recently bought a KESU USB 3.0 320 G external hardrive. It is not showing up anywhere on my Surface Pro 7. I have tried going into Device Manager and uninstalling and reinstalling USB Root Hub USB. 3 but still the hardrive is not showing up anywhere.


How do I fix this, so that the Hardrive shows up? It does light up and start working when plugged in, but just does not show up anywhere.


Thanks

:)

 

Win10 external Hardrive.

Hello all techies need your help.

I have been using my External hardrive case with different memory card plug in the front of the external hardrive case.

It has been working for over five years fine and something happened that it wants to now format it. I know all the information is still on the Hardrive. However, how do I get my windows to recognize the Hardrive or hardrive to recognize windows? I don't
want to lose all my data please.

Kind Regards from an American from the Balkan,

Backing file to USB external hardrive

I'm using a WD external HD. Windows 10 has not been able to do a backup to that drive since first use of Windows 10. I use the backup software that came with HD. I kow of several people that have same issue. We are using a usb 3.0 port. So not a new issue,
and you're not the only one that has this issue. My suggestion is to turn off windows backup and use the drive manufacturers backup software. Both WD and Seagate include this with their external drives.
