“Can this be used interchangeably between a Mac and Lenovo Windows computer? For example, could I hook it up to the mac and transfer files and then immediately after hook it up to the windows and access the same files for transferring?”

Hi DCos, You can use this hard drive on both, for that you need to reformat the drive. Please refer to the link given below to format the drive. https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20821 Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.

I don't believe so. The reason I bought this was that I had 2 hard drives that were formatted for MAC and they were not readable on my PC. I had to download a 3rd party program that allowed me to access my MAC hard drive on my PC to extract the files and transfer them to my new external hard drive. The program was called HFS explorer and there is a video on youtube showing how to use it.
