- 1). Insert your USB flash drive into an unused USB port on your computer. On laptop computers, the ports are usually located on the left or right side, and on desktop computers they are on the front or rear panels. If this is the first time you have connected the drive to the computer, the operating system will install any necessary drivers required for the drive.
- 2). Click "Open folder to view files" in the AutoPlay pop-up window that should open automatically. If the AutoPlay window doesn't open, right-click the Windows Start button in the bottom-left corner of the screen and select "Open Windows Explorer."
- 3). Search the left window pane to find the drive letter your computer assigned to the flash drive. The drives are listed under the "Computer" section and the flash drive will likely be the last drive listed. It will be called something such as "Pendrive" or "Removable Media."
- 4). Use Windows Explorer to find the file you want to put on the flash drive. Right click the file name, place your cursor over the "Send to" option and click the entry for your flash drive, which will show the drive letter and name as displayed in the Windows Explorer left pane. Your computer will copy the file to the flash drive. Repeat this for all files you want to add to the flash drive.
