My WD external hard drive is located in the office of my home. It is plugged into USB my desktop computer. I would like to have access to this hard drive on my laptop computer that is in the living room of my house. How is the best way to get the information on the external hard drive available on my laptop. My laptop connects wirelessly via my router. Thank you
Go into the internet connect section ( control panel area)and set up a share service
identify each computer and you will get a share password from one of the computers
enter that into the other computer and eventually the two system will be connected
check share files , drives etc and the on the lap top you will have reference to the external hard drive on the pc which you click on and all those files will be available
If you do not have a manual on how to do it , get an IT geek to come in and set it up for you
I set up the home group but still do not see the external hard drive on my laptop. I see files from my desktop which helps but is not all that I need. Any ideas?
Thanks
now what you have to do is go to the pc with the external hard drive , click on the hard drive in the computer section and at the top of a tab you will a section share with , click on that and put in your laptop name that you created
once it shows as shared , then it should show up in the computer section of the lap top
If it is right , you click on that drive and then open any of the files on the drive
