I just bought a T7 Touch to keep some personal file on. I like the idea of the touch to unlock the drive. With that being said I have some questions about how to set it up or is it even necessary? As I understand it comes formatted in ExFat and should work right out of the box. Or if it's formatted for windows it may be formatted with ExFat, Mac OS Extended or APFS. My question is if how do I keep the touch software active while formatting? There are two lines showing the T7 drive, an upper one that shows the name of the drive and another below that, it also has the name of the drive. If I format the lower will I be able to keep the touch software on the drive to use that feature?
Thanks.
