External HD's not showing in This PC after reinstall of Win 10.

OK I will change it to EXFAT. Thank you for all the time you spent helping me today.

No worries! Glad to help.

Get them to throw it in as part of the deal, if you can.

Let's see if you can do the install yourself.

I will get to work on it and report back either way.

You can do this if you follow all the instructions - plus there are others here that can chime in.

To recap -

1) Do a Quick Format on the USB Drive in exFat - no volume name needed.
2) When the Media is created with the MCT (Windows 10 Home, x64), boot to the Boot Selection Menu, as mentioned above.
3) Install with defaults. Reboot and test the Seagate. If OK, then add the other drive.

Take care.
