Newb - Question about the SOFTWARE that comes with the drive...?

I’m on the brink of buying this 1 TB My Passport WD drive (Amazon $79).

But I have two questions about the software.

1)  Does the license allow me to install it on two of my home laptops?

2)  Can I do a full hard drive image with this software (like I can with Norton Ghost, Acronis etc)

thanks,

Hello,

1)  Does the license allow me to install it on two of my home laptops? Yes.

2)  Can I do a full hard drive image with this software (like I can with Norton Ghost, Acronis etc) No, WD Smartware will backup your files (Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies) but not the OS or the programs.

For more information about the WD Smartware, please refer to the link below
