Q: Questiondoes this work with an iphone 11 and a Lenovo S340

Asked 2 years ago by jerry.

• A:Answer I use it on win 10 but it will not work on Win 11. Both are desktop machines. I don't know if it will work on any phone. When using it I am unable to delete any file. Don't know if it is the drive or my machine. Not real happy with it, but I use it for storage only so it works ok I guess.
