Answer
Yes, it will work. The external hard drive is just a hard drive. You can plug it in internally. I'm a computer technician and I do that all the time.
Turn off your PC before you plug it in, and make sure that the new hard drive can't be jostled around. Moving a spinning hard drive is bad for it.
Then plug it in, turn the computer on, and Windows should find the drive and install it for you.
Easy-peazy!

Can any of these hard drives be used with Mac and Windows without the need to reformat. Can I connect it to a router and then use Time Machine on my Mac and backup pictures from Windows without the need to format. Any other notes/reviews? Thanks.
Answer
Whatever you get, just make sure it is formatted to FAT32. If it isn't when you buy it, you can do it yourself. NTFS might work with Mac, but might not.
Buy one that lists both PC and Mac in the System Requirements.
