    Windows 10 can not recognize the Simpletech's Simple Drive.


    "Simple Drive" is a USB connected mass storage device. Mine is a 400 GB drive.
    It works fine in Win XP but not Win 10. Neither XP nor Win 10 showed a device driver has been installed.

    Google can not find a site that has the driver.

    Any help? Sure appreciated.

    :)

    My SimpleTech 400 GB Simple Drive doesn't work with Windows 10.

    Update on my latest situation.

    I have 3 windows 10 computers, 2 of them can now work with the Simpletech Simple drive.

    Now, only 1 windows 10 computer still refuses to work with the Simpletech Simple drive - tried different USB ports.

    This last computer just can not see the drive. May be one of these days, can suddenly get this last Win 10 computer to work with the drive. The drive has no software came with it, so non-existed. I don't believe anyone who bought this drive new had the
    device driver disk came with it.

  3. My SimpleTech 400 GB Simple Drive doesn't work with Windows 10.

    My Simpletech works fine with Windows 7 and lower versions without any drivers. It is immediately after upgrading to Windows 10 that it is not recognized. In my opinion it is most definitely a Windows 10 problem. Windows 10 will not recognize a hard drive
    in a USB hard driver enclosure either but will on a Windows 7 computer. It would seem that something in the higher security they built into Windows 10 is causing these devices to not be recognized so I don/t think Simpletech is to blame. I will use another
    computer with Windows 7 to transfer files from Simpletech to a DVD or thumb drive so I can transfer files and backup back to my Windows 10 computer. The public library here has computer labs that have not been upgraded to Windows 10 yet. Smart on their part.
    Microsoft should warn people before upgrading that many, if not all hard drives, might not be recognized after the upgrade.
