Q: It doesn't say it's compatible with Windows 10. Is it?
A: Its a UPNP hard drive It should work with any windows OS.
Q: USB 3.0........is is backwards compatible with an old USB technology prior to 3.0?
A: Yes. They are backwards compatible.
A: No, it's not hard. Just plug in the cord to the hard drive and plug the USB side into the computer. Use windows explorer to move files as you normally do. Western Digital does usually have software to manage the hard drive and update things... they try to make things "easier", and most times I can't stand using it and it makes things more complicated. For simplicity, just drag and drop your files. Also, just remember to use eject the hard drive before pulling the plug from the computer, in case you didn't know that already. Don't know how to do that then do a google search for "HOW TO SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE IN WINDOWS 7". :)
Q: Can this be used to store DVR recordings from DISH TV?
A: Yes, in fact in the past I have used it for that purpose
Q: What is the format of this hard drive?
A: This hard drive comes formatted in NTFS.
A: Works without a flaw! Just plug in & you can play without having to delete & install all your games every time. So long over due
