A:Answeryes I just transferred my data from windows 7 to windows 10 and before that I had transferred from XP to 7. I THINK all external hard drives for windows are compatible with all window versions.
A:AnswerYes that can be done if you setup the HDD's file system to support both mac and win. When you first connect and set up your HDD it will ask you to do the set up and you can do to support both.
A:AnswerI wouldn't recommend it. You would achieve better performance from the devices primary drive. It would be more practical to move files such as photos, videos and music to the external drive to free up space on the computer so that the games can be installed on the primary drive.
A:AnswerThe Seagate Dashboard is probably in your startup by default. Also, you may choose to do full backups or incremental on demand. I'm new to the software, so I removed it from startup and backup on demand using a free software that does imaging quite well. I'm not sure if I can mention it, but my answer will be reviewed before it is posted. I would like to use the Seagate software that came with the drive, but for now, until I learn it, I use the free version of Macrium Reflect. Hope this helps. Also, do you really need a daily backup? I just create restore points in Windows. It all depends on what you are doing on a daily basis.
A:AnswerAny type of files! Documents, spreadsheets, software programs, music,etc. You can back up your entire hard drive or use it to store your phone back ups.
A:AnswerYes. It should work fine with any Windows 7/Vista machine that has USB 2.0/3.0 ports (which should be all of them). If your comfortable using Windows file explorer to copy and move files you shouldn't have any problem. If not, then it would be worth getting a Geek (or more computer savvy person) to do it for you.
A:Answeras far as I know the difference between a portable and a desktop would be size and the portable as long as it is 3 terr or smaller would not require a separt power supply
A:AnswerYes, you can use it as an external drive for music and videos or you can remove it from the enclosure and pop it into the console. I've done it and it's really easy to do.
A:AnswerYes, you can make a windows 10 system image backup using this external hard drive.
When making the system image backup, just remember to choose the correct hard drive!
A:AnswerIt depends on the method of your backup. Using Windows Backup, you can specify full disk or use a folder. If you use a folder (or network path) then you can definitely back up multiple devices. If you use the disk method it will only work with the one device you're using. Hope this helps.
A:Answeryour Operating System creates the System Back-up Image, the Seagate will accept any data you send to it. Personally, I use a flash drive of 128 gig to copy my system images. And I will most likely create a 2nd image on my Seagate 2 Terrabyte external drive.
