How to Open External Hard Drive on Windows 10?
Contents

How do I find my external hard drive on Windows 10?

You could search for them via your Start Search, or you can access these Troubleshooters via the Windows 10 Settings Troubleshooter page.

To do this, go to Device Manager by pressing Win+R together to open the “Run” dialog, enter devmgmt.msc.

Next, locate the external device from the list.

Why is my external hard drive not showing up?

Plug your removable drive into your computer if it isn’t already. You should see your external drive listed in the Disk Management window, likely below your primary and any secondary disks. Even if it doesn’t appear in the This PC window because it doesn’t contain any partitions, it should show up here as Removable.
