This was good, as I'm a writer and I had a book on the e: drive.whether it's going toīe a best seller is up to you, the public. My Passport was old (2006), and it is now nicely open and giving me access. In e:\, as after C: and a DVD drive in D:, e: is the port that runs your external Passport. Once this fix ran on my computer, Windows 10 suddenly said it found a drive Be nice and agree, leaving your comment to Bill Gates and associates for another time. There is an external drive, and admits there is a problem. Hopefully, once you run the update, Windows 10 wakes up, recognizes The download is compressed, so create a folder, and then un-compress the new files there. Ensure the WD Passport drive is connected to the back of your computer, notĪ USB 3.0 port, but a backward compatible USB port with the same cable that came with the drive.

Unplug all USB devices except mouse, keyboard and My Passport drive. This gives you disaster recovery capability, ransomware protection without cloud subscriptions or the inherent (real or perceived) data risk with a cloud, at a reasonable one time cost.Go to Western Digital and download the update file. We also recommend that the customer change their Passport devices periodically for off site storage. If ransomware tries to access it, the Passport device will reject the request unless it can provide the encryption key (password). The passport has the additional feature of protecting against ransom ware. You can put it on a device on your network backing up company files using whatever backup software you wish, ideally this computer has limited or no internet access.

For those wishing on site backup, Passport is for you. Many companies are OK with backup on a cloud, however many are not, especially companies working on proprietary products (like medical devices) or companies doing government classified work. If you are using it for backup we use and recommend "Passport". Easy to use, no wasted space on unneeded software, and no worry about providing passwords every time you turn on or wake up your computer.

If you just want to store movies provide sharing on your network, etc then Easy Store is for you. I work for a local IT company serving small and medium size customers.
