My Personal Media Drive is not recognized

[Bastionheart]

Hey
Well, i admit that i stopped using my HP Pavillion when i got a new computer..

However, i hade used my personal media drive on other computers earlier, and it worked easy, but now (several years later) i was gonna use it on my Win 10 computer, and the computer doesnt recognize it, and it only appears in the device manager for a few seconds, and dissappears again...

Is my OS simply too... "advanced" to use a Personal media drive?
