Floppy disks have long been forgotten, CDs are almost never used. The most convenient modern electronic storage medium is a flash card. These include both USB drives and memory cards of phones and cameras.
Instructions
Step 1
To connect a USB flash drive to a computer, laptop and netbook, release the USB port of the card from the protective cover. In some cases, the flash drive is "folded" in half, and the USB port is protected by a memory card case. Free him. Consider the USB of your flash drive: it has a flat plate on the bottom, and a hollow space on the top. The USB-input on a laptop is similarly arranged. Insert the flash drive into the USB of your computer.
Step 2
Check your USB flash drive for viruses. By default, antiviruses themselves recognize the connected device and check it. If this does not happen, open the "My Computer" folder and right-click on the shortcut of the connected USB device. In the taskbar you will see the function "Check for viruses", click on this line. The verification time depends on the number and size of files stored on the flash drive.
Step 3
If the antivirus approves work with the connected device, your computer offers to automatically open the flash card. Confirm this action by clicking the "OK" button.
Step 4
If you have disabled the system of automatic opening of external drives, you can open the USB flash drive as follows. Go to the "My Computer" folder. Move the cursor over the "New disk" shortcut (depending on the computer, the shortcut may be called "USB device", "External drive" or the name of a flash card). Double-click the left mouse button on this shortcut. Alternatively, right-click and select the "Open" option in the context menu that appears. Start working with a memory card.
Step 5
You can open a specific file from a memory card through the "Explorer". To do this, go to the "Start" menu, select "All Programs" and then the "Accessories" tab. Click on the "Explorer" line. The program will show access to the "My Documents" folder. Please select a different folder address. To open the USB flash drive, set the path to "My Computer" for the explorer and find the shortcut of the connected USB device in the folder that opens. Click "Open" in the File Explorer menu.
Step 6
The rest of the memory cards are opened in the same way. If you work with a flash drive from a phone, camera and other electronic device, you need to connect the flash drive through a special USB device - an adapter for different flash cards.
Some laptop models have special inputs for such memory cards.
