3TB My Book not picking up on Windows but on a Macbook

3TB My Book can show up and read and write files on a Macbook, but on Windows 10, even checked Disk Managment and Device Manager. It still does not show up. I can tell its plugged in but i guess Windows 10 Cant recognize the drive or something. Very werid and any help would be helpful! Thanks. - CNBCodeNameBhop

Images in Disk Managment and Windows File Explorer


could be the disk is formatted with Apple which Windows cannot read

this is why larger NAS boxes are popular as they support all operating systems
