How To Download Files To Flash Drive

If you plan to use it frequently, insert it into the front port. Make sure you insert it into the correct port - some desktops and laptops have different types of ports available, such as 2.0 and 3.0 ports, which could be hi-speed and non-hi-speed ports. Proceed accordingly. It should fit snugly. Do not force it in. USB drives insert one way, so if it doesn’t fit, try turning it upside down. When you insert the flash drive, Windows will install the drivers for it automatically. You will see notifications about this in the bottom right corner of the desktop. NOTE: If Windows isn't able to identify the device or install the drivers automatically, you may either visit the manufacturers webpage for the appropriate driver (it is often located in the support or download section of the website), or visit the Windows Compatibility Center which lists thousands of devices and links to their respectful webpages.
