I don't... but it is worth saying, that there is no relevance to working on windows 10, if it worked on any "windows" platform, then it'll work on 10.

To be fair, your scanner also says it's not compatible with win 8.
Have you tried installing the win 7 drivers from the canon 'toolbox'? (which is I assume what you did to have it working on win 8).

Back to the external Hard Drive, a drive is a drive is a drive..... and is plug and play.
My current (very old) external hard drive is not "compatible" for win 7,8 or 10.... yet has worked flawlessly through all those upgrades.
So in essence - it'll be fine.

I spoke to a Microsoft area manager at a training course and he told me and others that anything that had drivers and worked on Vista and upwards would work on Win 10, maybe worth a quick email to |Microsoft

A lot of the time it is the actual installer that doesn't work as many a time it does an operating system check. More often than not you'll fun it will work when you find the actual .inf file which will have the driver information and you just manually install that one through the device manager windows for your "unknown" device.
With regards to the drive, there should be no issues whatsoever.
