    I asked for help buying a backup drive for my laptop and the WD My Passport was recommended to me. I bought it, but I can't use it as a backup drive because it is incompatible with Windows 11. W11 sees it as a portable drive, not a fixed drive and therefore won't use it for backup. I'm totally frustrated!!

    It is a back up! It was purchased to resolve a problem, which it did not resolve. Not a product flaw, it was a management flaw.
