Windows 10: Move data to external hard drive.

Hi. My computer drive is really unorganized. I installed a lot of bloat, put things in seemingly random files, and other stuff. I decided that I wanted to use a new hard drive. I have an external 1tb hard drive that I could move all of my drive's contents into. There is one problem though. There are a lot of files that wont copy to the external drive. Does anyone know of a way that I can move all of my drives stuff into the external hard drive? I will even buy something if I have to.

:)

Hi John,

We suggest that you try the troubleshooting steps below:

External hard drive not recognised

Thanks for this. I've done what you suggested and been through all the steps mentioned in the article. The hard drive works fine on a Mac computer, and I've managed to copy the information on it. It must be a Surface issue so I'll try to get a chat line tomorrow.
