Q: How do I install the software?
A: While the drive itself can be used with your Macbook, the NTI Backup Now EZ software on the drive is Windows only.
A: The drive comes with the USB 3.0 cable, which will also work with your USB 2.0 port.
A: If you're still within 15 days of the purchase date, then you should be able to return or exchange your hard drive at any of our retail stores. This period is extended to 30 days for My Best Buy Elite members and to 45 days for Elite Plus members. If you're beyond that timeframe, however, you would need to seek service under the drive's factory warranty coverage by contacting Toshiba directly or by speaking an a technician at your local store's repair counter.
A: Hard drive space has nothing to do with processing power. It either needs a new processor, which really means getting a new laptop, or more RAM, which is fairly cheap and easy to do. If you're only problem is that there isn't enough room on your internal hard drive to install the game, yes, an external will serve your purposes.
Q: How do I get support for HDWC130XK3J1?
A: You can call tech support here: Computers, Tablets and Toshiba Storage Place (800) 457-7777 (toll-free) or (949) 859-4273 We also have webchat available. Choose "Virtual Help Desk" from the menu on the right on this page: http://support.toshiba.com/contact
Q: external hard drive compatibility
A: For Windos systems it is compatible with Windows® XP, Vista®, 7, or 8, so as long as you're running one of those versions it is compatible. Since you asked about the 2TB drive on the 3TB drive page, my answer applies to both drives.
A: The drive does not have it's own powersupply. It is compatible with the Wii U and Apple Products, but not at the same time.
Q: Is this compatible with Windows 8.1?
A: Yes it is compatible with Windows 8.1.
