How (and if) you need to teach your computer about this depends on the OS you're running.

You sure about this? I've received USB dumps of the Oasis 3 in attempts to extract factory firmware and the dump doesn't include the system.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves, useful guidance to the OP depends on knowing what OS he is using.

PW4 should have 8GB or 32GB storage though so the FAT32 partition should be ~6GB or ~28GB, iirc.
The Paperwhite might be new to the OP but it's not necessarily the latest model.

In addition to your PC's operating system, what model is the Paperwhite, what condition (new, used, refurbished) and where was it purchased from?
