Setup instructions for my Windows 10 were lacking but once I got it set up, it worked just fine. I like the fact that I can travel with my data and use my data on different devices.

Worked great until it didnt. Had very important files on here and it just crashed mid use. No longer can be ready by any computer, it just says uninitialized. Reached out to WD and they do not provide any support for their products! They just tell you to go pay a 3rd party to attempt to restore the data. Trash product from a trash company.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've only just recently installed the drive and copied about 1TB of data from my second internal drive, via TeraCopy. It ran smoothly and completed the task. I bought this for a second backup external drive.
I would recommend this to a friend!
