    WD Elements 1tb not recognized In Devices and Drives


    Hello,I have a Lenovo Legion 7 running Windows 10. I'm plugging in a WD Elements drive and it's not seen by Devices and Drives.Going into Disk Management reveals it, as shown in attached images. It's labeled 'healthy', but not NTFS or FAT, which I'm reading are the desired formats for drives in the Windows world, and I suspect this is the problem.I downloaded two different partition management softwares: Easeus and AOMEI. The former had no letter change option, the latter had one but it was greyed out, as with my disk management window. In disk management I was able to rename a 127mb NTFS part
