How to transfer files from a USB flash drive to a PC on Windows 10

First things first, you’ll need to plug in your USB drive. If it’s already plugged in, make sure it’s connected to the computer.

It’s important to remember that you won’t be able to transfer files from a USB flash drive unless there are files on it—if the flash drive has been formatted, you’ll need to put some files on it first before being able to transfer them.

You’ve got files on a flash drive that you want to transfer to your Windows 10 PC, but the transfer won’t seem to go through. It shouldn’t be complicated: plug in the flash drive and then drag and drop the folders and files to where they need to be. But that’s not working, so you’ll need to jump through a few hoops to get it done.

Here’s what you can do:

IMPORT FILES FROM USB FLASH DRIVE TO WINDOWS 10

1. Plug in the USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.
2. A pop-up window will appear, asking what you want to do with the connected device. Select Open folder to view files.
3. The File Explorer will open, showing the contents of the USB flash drive.
   
   
4. Select the files you want to transfer to your PC.
   
   
5. Right-click on the selected files and select Copy.
6. Navigate to the location on your PC where you want to transfer the files to.
7. Right-click in the selected location and select Paste.
8. The files will be transferred to the designated location on your PC.

Note: If the pop-up window does not appear when you connect the USB flash drive, go to the Windows Start menu and select File Explorer. Locate the USB flash drive in the list of devices and click on it to open it.

Import pictures to the Photos app

1. Connect the camera or USB flash drive containing the photos to your computer.
2. Open the Photos app on your PC.

9. The photos will be added to your Photos app library, where you can view, edit, and organize them as desired.

Note: You can also import photos directly to your PC by using the File Explorer. Right-click on the photos you want to import and select Copy. Navigate to the location on your PC where you want to store the photos and right-click in the designated location and select Paste. The photos will be transferred to the designated location on your PC.

HOW TO EXPORT FILES TO USB FLASH DRIVE FROM WINDOWS 10

2. Open the File Explorer by clicking on the File Explorer icon on the taskbar or by pressing the Windows key + E.
3. Locate the files you want to export to the USB flash drive.
4. Select the files by clicking on them while holding down the Ctrl key.
5. Right-click on the selected files and select Copy.
6. Go to the File Explorer and locate the USB flash drive.
7. Right-click on the USB flash drive and select Paste.

Note: You can also drag and drop the files from the File Explorer to the USB flash drive to transfer the files. Simply select the files, drag them to the USB flash drive, and drop them in the designated location.

Once you’ve copied the files onto your computer or laptop, they should stay there until you either move them or delete them, so with that in mind, feel free to copy all the files from your USB drive. Now that isn’t too difficult, is it?
