Missing file properties in windows-explorer

I have a 3 laptops (two WIN10 and one WIN8) and 1 external hard drive.
All of them have the license activated.
The problem is only on the laptop with WIN8:
when I plug in the external hard drive, I'm not able to see in the explorer the properties of the file (Type, Size, Date modified...), but only the name.
Does anybody know where the problem can be?

On your laptop you probably have activated the List view . This view only shows the file name. Change the default Explorer view to Details and your problem should be gone.
Screenshots taken in Windows 10 but you should get the idea:
