Many people keep years of family photographs on their computer. It's important to know how to move those photographs when needed. Transferring photographs to a flash drive is the perfect way to back them up, as well as a great way to share those photos with others. Once the photos are transferred to a flash drive, you can also plug that drive into a photo kiosk at your favorite store to print hard copies.
Step 1
Log on to your computer and plug the flash drive into a free USB port. Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Explore" from the menu to open Windows Explorer.
