This question was asked about the related product: WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black
- Answer Sounds like the same problem I was having. The short answer is that manufactures no longer include Win 7. What was confusing to me was one place said yes it is compatible another said no. Quite frankly the print was so tiny I was unable to read the compatibility statement. So read what it says, if you can make it out.

QuestionI connected the WD Passport to my HP Chromebook and a message popped up stating that it is not compatible. I look it up online and see that it does. Confused to say the least! Can someone please assist me?
Asked 4 years ago by SuSu.
- Answer Little late I know... but.. if you are able to actually SEE the drive, you should be able to Reformat it to be compatible. IF you can see the drive, right click on it. Scroll to Format, set it for NTFS and you SHOULD be good to go. IF that doesn't work, Contact the manufacturer, it's under warranty thru them for at least 2 years.

- Answer I have both the Passport and the easy store. They both work the same as far as I know but I am also not a tech savvy person. I have one for my business computer and one for my personal computer. The Geek Squad rep at Bestbuy said they were basically the same.
