    Windows 10 and WD Passport 111 Esential


    I have a WD Passport 111 Esential external drive that I would like to use but I cannot seem to do this because I have upgrated to Windows 10. (I did have Windows 7 at the time of purchase). Is there a way of to get around this? Seems a shame to throw it away and it was expensive at the time and would be great to be able to use it as an external drive for the storage of my documents, etc.

    :)

  2. A driver for WD passport compatible with windows 10

    Hi Donna,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.



    Let’s try installing the WD passport driver in compatibility mode and check if this helps. I suggest you to install the drivers supplied by the manufacturer any disc or USB which came along with the WD passport drive.


    • Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties.

    • Select Compatibility tab.

    • Check Run this program in Compatibility mode.

    • Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
    You can also visit the below link and try updating the driver and check.

    If the issue still persist, I recommend you to contact WD passport team for further assistance.

    Hope this helps. Keep posting us with the status we will be glad to help you.
