After you upgrade your computer to Windows 10, if your Seagate Removable Drive Drivers are not working, you can fix the problem by updating the drivers. It is possible that your Removable Drive driver is not compatible with the newer version of Windows.
I even downloaded the AHCI preinstall drivers and loaded these using a flash drive. When I did Windows 7 would autodetect the ICH9 driver.
