Hi,
I just bought WD My passport to use with my MacBook Air 2018 model which runs with macOS Catalina version 10.15.1

I have connected the device to my laptop but started reading posts here that my passport doesn’t work with Catalina.
Before I start a nonsense journey: should I return the product?

I recently purchased a WD My Passport 2TB (WDBYVG0020BBK) that came pre-formatted for Windows. It would like to use this interchangeably between my Windows & MacOS laptops. The drive packaging in Compatibility section says: Downloadable NTFS driver for read/write on macOS Where can I find this driver/software for MacOS Catalina? I looked at the product support page and I did not find anything. Summary: This guide introduces three common scenarios in which you might find your WD My Passport external hard drive read-only on Mac. If the WD My Passport read-only on Mac problem is caused by the NTFS file system, installing iBoysoft NTFS for Mac to edit, rename, delete the saved files and transfer files to the read-only WD My passport hard drive.

If not: how do I set up my passport with my laptop so to not have any issue?
A step by step guide will be very useful and also some clarification around the WD apps: which one I should install (if I can install them on Mac) and why?

In the end I just wanted to back up my laptop with a hard drive cheaper than 100pounds but it seems like I’m up for a long quest.

thanks for your help!
much appreciated!

Best,
