What passport is it? If it’s a studio or an edge you’ll need to format it before you can use it on Windows, and did you check disk management for info on the drive? You can open DM if you do a right click on the computer icon itself and selecting _ manage _.
When I select MANAGE I can see it and it says UNALLOCATED. What should I do next?
If it’s unallocated, then right click it so windows give you the option to format it. If it refuses to format because its read-only then either the drive is bad or the password is active.
