Thanks for that information, but I use Win10, not Win11, and my current setup will NOT accept the Win11 upgrade...
but the question remains, will a NEW External drive work with my current PC Win10? thanks, I suspect it will and may just need to buy it and find out what happens... thank you
Me too! I purchased a WD Passport 4tb from Best Buy, (about 3 miles from my home) for $114 + tax about a year ago. No problems. Before that & I still have is a 1 tb WD Passport HD. Both work fine but the first I purchased was a from Dell was a Seagate 1 tb which works fine but only has been plugged in a couple of times. I have a Dell Allienware R5 purchased back in 2017 running Win10 that Microsoft will stop supporting & providing any type of support for in June this year. Mine is not updateable to Win 11. Probably only go online with my ipad & iphone after that until I purchase something new.
