when I check for Samsung T7 Shield Options I'm told to "Check for Compatability." I'm then offered a list of options. I'm not sure what these are. They look to be computer brands, but Dell isn't on the list, neither is ASUS, which are the laptops I use.

I wonder if this means I wouldn't be able to use a T7 with my computers. Is this right, or am I reading this incorrectly?

Thanks again.
