WD Drives and Windows 7

WD is proud to partner with Microsoft for the launch of Windows 7.

Our close working relationship with Microsoft allowed us to take advantage of the features of Windows 7 to provide our customers with full compatibility and a seamless, user-friendly experience. Our currently shipping desktop and mobile internal drive and direct-attach external drives are certified to be Windows 7 compatible. (see the complete list of Windows 7 compatible drives)

External drives are perfect for upgrading or migrating to Window 7.

Back up first.
For safety … because stuff happens … use an external drive to back up your data before starting the upgrade or migration.

Plenty of room for a smooth transfer.
Although Windows Easy Transfer works with thumb drives and CD’s, an external drive gives you plenty of space to assure a smooth transfer to your new Windows 7 system.

Back up always!
When you’re done with the upgrade, make the external drive your back up drive and always keep your data backed up.

Why WD?
WD drives, the world’s leading external drives, are certified Windows 7 compatible!
