- Owner's manual
A: Yes, this is really easy to install on a Mac or PC. The drive has a software that you can use to set everything up OR you can literally just plug it in and start dragging files onto it. Pretty simple.
Q: Will this work for an Xbox One?
A: That is what I use it for. Just have to formate it when you plug it in a rather easy process.
Q: Does this drive backup system files?
A: if your hard drive is smaller then 1TB or you haven't used more more than 1TB of space on the hard drive yes, you set up windows backup utility to periodically back up your hard drive
Q: does stdr10001100 sku 3138005 work with windows 8.1
A: Yes - I've been using it with Windows 8.1 with no problems. (I have NOT been using the bundled software - just using it as an external drive).
Q: Can I delete old files off the drive, to make room for new file back ups, and how easy is it to do?
A: Yes, it's a real hard drive like the one that's probably in your computer. You get another drive letter for it and it acts like a regular hard drive. You can delete, copy and move files just like on your original drive.
Q: Partition?
