Will this 5TB WD Passport work with Windows 7? null

Please change the specs then because it says minimum system requirement Windows 8 & 10

Yes It will work on windows 7, if it's formatted with ntfs, it'll read full capacity.

I just ordered 3 of them and it does NOT work with windows 7. Thought I could use a work around so I was trying to move files over the network from my Windows 7 machine to my windows 10 laptop and at 4 MBs it was showing over a day to transfer just under 800 GB. I have 15 TB to move so probably take 2 weeks. Not worth the headache

It works on my windows 7 pro fine for many years now. And my copy of windows is a cracked copy from a torrent. It is formatted as ntfs. I never really even new there was suppose to be an issue. And by the way. My Passport was an ebay special but was verified by myself with a fake flashdrive detector. Looks like i had all the odds stacked against me but still came out on top. .

Hi AlexL, Please know the windows 7 is EOL from Microsoft. We would suggest you to please upgrade the windows. However, you can use the drive with windows 7. Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information
