Wow, cool. I would never have thought to look for that. It works on Windows Vista through 10, on either 32 or 64 bit. It also applies to many other WD products your system may have:

My Book, My Book, My Book for Mac, My Book Pro, My Book Duo, My Passport Ultra, My Passport SSD, My Passport, My Passport Ultra (WD Backup), My Passport Ultra Metal, My Passport for Mac, My Passport for Mac, My Passport Air, WD easystore Portable, WD easystore Desktop


The only thing I want to watch for when I run it is the customary warning about backups, since updating firmware has the potential to brick equipment. If your AC power isn’t solid, don’t try this without a UPS to plug into.
