File Explorer, you don't even need to go to File Explorer to find the drive. It pops up the minute you insert the drive. Then you can find the folder into which you want to paste your files, and paste them from the clipboard. Just copy the files to the clipboard before inserting the thumb drive, then paste them when the drive pops up, and you open the folder where you want to paste the files.

When you open the drive there will probably be nothing listed unless there is some software from the drive manufacturer. So move what you want and you will have copies of what you transferred. Hope this helps. Pat Byrne P S The new drive will appear under the "c" and "d" drives and whatever else is listed and will have the next available letter designator.At 09:42 AM 7/4/2019, you wrote: Hello, |
