You don't really need Seagate or Mimeo software on Windows 10. If you then go to Start, Memeo, Memeo Instant Backup, the backup should detect the NAS and start. Plus you will need a mapped drive if you want to use File History (see below). I am not sure if it is necessary to map a network drive in order for Mimeo to detect the NAS, but in any case, it is handy to be able to access NAS files using file explorer on the mapped drive. See information in the link below and also google around for how to do that. If you don't know these, you'll have to reset the password. Put in the credentials (user and password) from when you first set up the GoFlex. The name of the share is \\GOFLEX_HOME\GoFlex Home Backup. In File Explorer right click on This PC, Map Network Drive. However, all we want is a version of Memeo provided by Seagate which does work under Windows 10, and you can get it as part of the package from the link. Also, recently Seagate Desktop detection of the NAS stopped working on my Windows 7 laptop, so certain updates may have deprecated it there as well. I was unable to get the NAS Desktop version from the original CD (or from downloads elsewhere) to detect the NAS under Windows 10, so I gave up. There may be other places where more specific FreeAgent software is available, because the Seagate Desktop from this link may be looking for USB drives and not the NAS. During install prompts, select Memeo Instant Backup, not the premium version. Download the software from the next following link. Seagate Desktop will not work under Windows 10 (will not detect NAS), or at least I couldn't get it to work, but Memeo Instant Backup will work on its own.
This should allow file explorer to discover network equipment that uses old protocols. Set the services Function Discover Provider Host and Function Discovery Resource Publication to Automatic (delayed start). Run Services desktop app or run Services through Control Panel, Administrative Tools. Reboot after the new protocol is installed. Google around for discussion of that topic. Disclaimer: Use of SMB 1 may have security issues, so you do this at your own risk. I do not know if this step is necessary, but it likely is, because GoFlex is said to use SMB 1. Install SMBV1 by going to Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Features On and Off, then check the box that says SMB 1.0 Client. In Control Panel, Network and Sharing Center, Change Advanced Sharing Settings, check Turn on Network Discovery and Turn on File and Printer Sharing (not sure if the latter is necessary).
