    I recently obtained a refurbished desktop for 90 bux. It has an adequate cpu as well as Win 10. The problem being that

    the hdd is tiny. I also purchased a WDC hdd, size 2T I could plug into an External dd. Everything went swimmingly

    until the Ext dd was started. The familiar initialize noises occurred but no recognition. This has happened in the past

    but never with a West Dig hd. I've combed the D top for some function like 'searching for new hardware,' but there

    is none. Should I just return it to MicroCen? Annoyed.

    :)

    HDD Docking

    Hi Tonyo,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • What is the make and model of the docking station?


    The computer docking connections located on the bottom of the computer vary between computer models. For the docking station to work properly, the docking posts, eject mechanisms, and electrical connections on the docking station must be compatible
    with the connections on your computer model.



    Meanwhile, if the docking station is compatible, you may update the device drivers for your docking station and check if it works.



    Update device drivers for docking station:

    • Open the PC manufacturer support Web site, search for the
      Docking Station Driver for your PC model.
    • Install the driver suggested and check.


    If the issue persists, update the BIOS and try connecting the Docking Station again.



    Note:

    Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
    configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.





    Regards,

    I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.

    1. I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.
    2. When i'm on docking station system says i'm connected to home Wi-Fi, but when i browse says not connected.
    3. Other devices connected to home Wi-Fi has no issue.
    4. What steps can i take to resolve the issue other than updating Wi-Fi adapter driver?
