I still have Windows XP on one of my home computers and a current 2TB WD MYBook operating well.Can I add the cloud, and extra space with this product

You can, but it takes tinkering in the settings & putting it in xp mode which is less secure

You will be able to use both, and if u connect the mybook to the USB on the cloud, then you will be able to access both from web anywhere.

Even thought I use Window 7, but I think it will work for Windows XP. If you get this My Cloud 3TB and connect it to your router, you can connect your 2TB WD MyBook to the back of 3TB My Cloud with USB port.

Yes, but it has to be formatted to exFAT if you want the files to be over 4gbs. (NTFS also for Windows)

Absolutely. I have an older Dell running XP with an older Buffalo external drive attached (that's why a secondBuffalo drive to a second PC) that has maybe 20,000 photos plus tons of other files on it. Assuming you havea fee USB port, an external disk is the way to go especially on older PCs with a smaller C drive.

Yes, you can, as long a you have enough GB space on the Clickfree. Check to see how much disc space is being used on each computer & tally it up.

Yes. You can use Synology Data Replicator or you can use the standard backup program that comes with windows. See synology link for instructions. https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/tutorials/454

Hi. Do you know if you can add hard drive space? Like attach an external hard drive for more space?

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

I don't see why it wouldn't be. BUT I would suggest a 2tb WD Black instead. Windows defaults to an MBR storage format which I KY supports up to 2.2tb. You can't even partition the other 800gb into another drive. You can change the format to GPT which would allow you to use all 3tb, but it's a pain in the butt and if this will be your only storage drive I would steer clear of doing that. Quick summary: A WD Black should work no problem, but I'd personally go with a 2tb version. Hope this helps!

I will agree with the other two comments.. Just upgrade the drive to a larger size. Storage is pretty cheap these days. Good Luck!

I am currently using a 2 TB WD My Book for Mac on OSX 10.9.1. It works flawlessly and am very happy with it. I set it up when I was still using Lion. Then upgraded to Mavericks and had no problem.

Yes. I own this device and cloned a 1TB HD to a 2TB HD for my home PC running Windows 7. No issues whatsoever. Worked great.

Windows XP does not support GPT and therefore cannot utilize drives larger than 2TB. More information can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581408 Keep in mind the Windows XP is now end-of-support. For you own safety, it is advisable that you upgrade immediately. If you don't want to buy a new Windows License, there are several Linux distributions that are both free and will run well (and fast) on older older hardware originally designed to run Windows XP.

This device gives you the option to add more storage ( USB External hard drive/ USB drive etc and to add maybe a usb hub so that you can do more with your device. I hope this answers your question :)

You sure can, there is no need to format the drives before installing. I bought this to take my two drives from an old desktop that had died, each that had plenty of data, and had it up and running with my new laptop in no time at all with full access to all of the old data. I've now used this with both Windows XP and Windows 8 without any issues, and have since swapped in a new drive from another old desktop.

Sure. But if you are backing-up your OS, you should be doing that to a second physical internal hard drive.

Yes, you can plug an external hard drive in to the MyCloud and have it do its own backups of data and configuration on a schedule. WD calls them safepoints.

there's only room for one laptop 2.5 size drive. It comes with a motherboard so if you want to keep your current windows installation that's on the drive you are putting in, it may, or may not work.
