Oct 25, 2017 - Hey guys can you tell me if this unit will work well with a 2tb HDD and if yes what's the max size HDD for this machine please?

Hello Jete, Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community. As per the issue description you are willing to upgrade to Windows 10 and want to know the basic requirements.
I would suggest you to refer the article mentioned below to upgrade your system to Windows 10 and see if it helps you to upgrade. In addition to that I would suggest you to know the system requirements and for that you may refer to the article mentioned below. You may also refer to the article mentioned below to for downloading Windows 10 on your computer. You may also refer to the WIKI article of Andre da costa provided below and see if it helps you to fix the issue. Hope the information provided is helpful.
Do let us know if you have any queries related to Windows, we will be happy to assist you. This does not even come close to answering my question!
I have already successfully upgraded my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 with no problems, and have been participating in the Windows 10 pre release beta version from the first. I know how to update to Windows 10! I currently have systems that are running Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Mint Linux, Debian Linux, Mac OS X 10.10, Mac OS X 10.11.
(I started with DOS, and have gone through Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, as well as OS2 Warp, and Mac OS 8, OS 9, and most versions of OS X, and I maintain my sisters system with Windows Vista, I am not a novice.) The question I asked was: 'What is the Maximum hard drive size Windows 10 will support'! Is it 2TB?, 3TB?, 5TB?, 10TB? Also how many partitions will it support? Thanks jete1956 PS.
I found some Info on my own. My motherboard uses the UEFI bios so I can use the GUID partition scheme which supports drives over 2 TB (though I still do not know the max, but I do use a 4 TB backup drive for my Mac Laptop, without partitions), and allows 128 partitions, and should work with 64 bit Windows 7. Wish I had found this info 2 weeks ago when I first started looking. If you need more info on doing this search for 'GUID partition', or the article at this link - Thanks jete1956. I know this doesn't answer your question about Windows 10, because I do not know. However, the problem you're running into with your Windows 7 machine, and the 2TB limit, and the 'wasted' 1TB on your 3TB drive.
I had this problem when I cloned a 2TB drive to a 3TB drive, and found 2TB (2047.9GB actual) in use, and 1TB wasted (746.52 GB actual). My HD was Seagate and the solution was Seagate's Disc Wizard. Information about this can be found at: With a youtube video at: The Disc Wizard didn't allow me to have a 3TB partition, but did allow my computer to access the 746GB as another drive letter. If you have another manufacturer for your hard drive, perhaps they have a similar hard drive manager. Just for some information. I'm not sure why you can't get at the remaining 1TB (most likely something in the partition table), but the 2 TB limit has everything to do with the file system, and very little to do with the operating system.
Here is a link on the maximums of given file systems. Note that given a 512 sector, the practical limit for an NTFS partition/volume is 2 TB. Note just because 512 is the standard, that doesn't mean that you are restricted to it. You could go to 1024 sectors and get to 4 TB.
But you would have to do this some how manually and then get Windows 10 to use that partition. Note that the Mac natively uses a Unix based file system, so it has different limitations. Note I'm just another user trying to help. I'm sorry you had to deal with that Microsoft Tech support guy. I find that most of them are after all idiots so it is best not to bother with them. They'll ignore your question and answer something you never asked.
That way don't have to admit they are clueless. Don't know why they get paid. Anyway, I know this is an old post but in case anyone else has same question. There really isn't a drive limit size in practice. It goes up to a petabyte. I doubt you'll need that much space. So go ahead and get as big a drive as you need.
I have a 3TB drive inside a system I built and I'm already running out. I also used linux based sytems before. But I'm running windows now. As long as you're using 64 Bit system (and who isn't these days) and you're not formatting in FAT32 (who the. formats internal drives at Fat32?!) you should be ok. Just format as GBT instead of MBR format.
MBR is good for less than 2.2 TB. GBT anything above. Do GBT formatting and you'll be good to go.
Hope this helps.

From a site discussion on USB Drive capability: To answer the subject line, USB's limit is the limit of its mass-storage class (MSC) spec. This spec is in turn based on the SCSI transparent command set. Looking at the SCSI read commands you can see that there are several versions of the API. The oldest supports 21-bit block addresses (and a 1GB limit), a later version supports 32-bit LBAs (imposing the 2TB limit many cases have today), and the latest has a 64-bit LBA which will impose an 8ZB limit (that's 8 giga-terabytes!). Modern USB cases will support 64-bit LBAs and should support any drive you're likely to find.
Older cases won't support this and will misbehave if they are attached to a drive larger than 2TB. Assuming your USB case supports the drive, then there's the issue of partitioning the drive. The MBR partition scheme (used in various forms since MS-DOS) uses a 32-bit block index. So it has a limit of 2TB. The solution used today is to switch to the GUID partition table (GPT) format which uses 64-bit block numbers.
All modern operating systems (including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) support GUID partition tables and should be able to support a 2TB drive as a data disc. If you're a Mac or Linux user, then you should be able to boot from the drive as well.
Macs have EFI firmware and support booting GPT volumes. Modern Linux systems have code in the GRUB bootloader that, I'm told, will allow booting Linux from a GUID drive without EFI firmware. If you're running Windows, however, you may or may not be able to boot from the drive. You will need EFI firmware on your motherboard, and you will need to be running a 64-bit version of Windows. Microsoft requires both in order to boot from a GPT drive of any size. This means that if you are running 32-bit Windows or have BIOS-only firmware (without EFI), you will want to make sure your boot disk is 2TB or smaller, so you can apply an MBR partition.

2015 specifically for Windows 10. I read somewhere (someone actually did a test) that, as long as Windows has drive letters available to assign to new drives, you can continue adding. But, once it gets to the end of the alphabet, you're at the max you can connect.:)You can add more than 26 drives (and it is actually volumes that get drive letters, not physical drives). When you run out of drive letters you can still map the volumes to folders. For example, you can create a folder 'Movies'.

Then you can map a volume (commonly referred to as a partition) on a physical drive to the 'Movies' folder. Jmicron jmb389 card reader drivers for mac pro.
