Maxtor OneTouch 4 External Hard Drive Not Getting Detected in Windows 10
I have a Maxtor OneTouch 4 external HD on Mac, but I move to Windows 10 now. When I plug it in, the notification goes on, and I can see the external HD icon on the devices manager, but it won't reveal on the desktop or this PC. No option can access the files.
