what are the installation instructions null

If this is used with a Windows based machine, it is as easy as plugging it into an open USB port on the PC or laptop and the operating system will do the rest. It does come with some handy pre installed software but it isn't necessary to install any of it to use the drive. If this question is for a mac user, there are additional steps required to make the drive usable by the operating system, and these can be found on Western Digital's website, or by doing a general search for "WD 4TB USB 3.0 mac installation". It took about 20 minutes to format the external drive for use in a mac and works just as well as a windows installation.

I went online to the Western Digital website to get the instructions. Very simple and easy setup

Just plug it in for Windows computer but you’ll need to reformat it when using Mac.

It automatically preps and formats when you plug in. It may or may not have an encrypted log in for PC usage... but it will guide you through the steps.
