Question

Samsung M3 Portable Hard Drive doesn't like Windows 10

by eliza2811 / December 2, 2015 12:38 PM PST

Hi all,

I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 about a month ago. Recently had a big trip to London for my birthday, took about 250 photos and now went to save them on my Sammy External HD.

Did what I normally to create a back up job and it won't back up as it can't find a back up source ?

I suspect this may be due to the 10 upgrade and I can't downgrade now back to 7.

Has anyone come across the problem too ?

Thanks :

Check with Samsung about updating the Samsung software.

For me, I just blow the software away and turn the drive into a plain drive. That secret zone junk has blown up on too many. Nice idea but who needs that.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
