Old external HD software needed

I have a old external HD (WD5000G032) that I used about 3 computers ago. I searched for software and not even sure if it will work with windows 10. Anyone know how I can retrieve data stored on it. Dose not show up when connected to computer but the blue circle on the fron of it lights up.

Hi @MELSTER,

Please refer below link to check WD external drive is not seen by Windows or Mac and data on the drive is inaccessible:
