You are the man!!!! Thank you for the best & clearest description, together with screen video! We were confused whether we copy or send... not wanting to lose from the laptop! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Chris, for once someone who explains everything and doesn’t assume the people viewing already know what their doing, you gave very clear instruction which helped a dinosaur like me to get me photos backed up on a usb stick, thank you so much 👍
Thanks a lot. I loved the way you illustrated, described and displayed the screen as I am seeing it . Other RUclips tutors are not doing that and not making near as clear and step by step as you do. I'm definitely subscribing/Like/Sharing to your channels now ..Thanks again ! 🙂
Chris, sorry to ask such a stupid question but can you tell me what type of USB stick it is that I need? I really am clueless. I need to save all my photo's and videos that i recorded on my laptop which I think may be failing and if it goes I will lose all the stuff. Thank you for posting this video
If its all of your photos and videos and how much space is needed to back them up is anyones guess, I would recommend getting a 1TB external hard drive rather than a USB Stick I would be surprised if you would need anything larger.
Am I right in understanding that when someone says “copy to the root directory of your USB stick” all they really mean is copy the file to the stick as you’ve just shown?
Can i delete the original folder where i copy it from and eject the usb from computer before deleting it does it safe or can file will not affect inside usb?
@@cwtek1 its brand new 1 terabyte usb drive. And I use 200gb already.i scanned it and repaired but i get error file corrupted or unreadable.i can't fix every corrupted file it will take time.
@@jhjip-zy7hn Just try copying a few files to the 64gb Stick if they work then, try copying the same files to the 1TB stick if thats still failing on the 1TB stick then I would be sure your 1tb stick is faulty.
Chris Waite Several people are saying that you can copy free version of windows. I am asking that whether it is possible to copy a paid version or pro ?!🤔
@@Me-zd4hv You can download a fresh copy of windows 10 from Microsoft just google Windows 10 iso, as far as I know there is no free version of Windows 10 however you can upgrade from an earlier version of Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 free of charge still. If you want to copy Windows 10 to another computer then you could try using Macrium reflect and image to an external hard drive then restore to another PC.

@@cwtek1 awesome, thank you so much!
wow, I wish there were more people as kind as you in this world!
Am I right in understanding that when someone says “copy to the root directory of your USB stick” all they really mean is copy the file to the stick as you’ve just shown?
The root is to the top of the drive i.e not in any folder’s.
Can you send multiple files to USB, or do you have to do them individually.
Yes you can send multiple files You have to use either the shift or the CTRL key when selecting those files.
Can i delete the original folder where i copy it from and eject the usb from computer before deleting it does it safe or can file will not affect inside usb?
Yes you can as long as you are not deleting a system folder such as folders like Documents, Music, Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, Video
Thank you so much
I want to move all of the documents on my windows to a usb, how do I select all of the files to move into a folder and then move the folder to my usb
Hold down CTRL then tap the letter A this will select all files in your documents Folder then just copy the method in the video.
stupid question but can you turn a computer mouse into a usb drive?
No unfortunately you cannot!
Can you use this method to copy Mp3 files stored in a folder to an Mp3 player?
it really depends on the MP3 player it’self some allow this some require the files to be in a certain file structure.

I keep getting corrupted file message when I tranfer files to my USB drive.help plz.
Sounds like your USB Drive has developed a fault, try another drive.
@@cwtek1 its brand new 1 terabyte usb drive. And I use 200gb already.i scanned it and repaired but i get error file corrupted or unreadable.i can't fix every corrupted file it will take time.
@@jhjip-zy7hn Please try another usb drive to rule out a problem with the new usb drive.
@@cwtek1 I only have 64gb usb my folders are bigger than that.but I will try anyway.can I screenshot you my problem?
@@jhjip-zy7hn Just try copying a few files to the 64gb Stick if they work then, try copying the same files to the 1TB stick if thats still failing on the 1TB stick then I would be sure your 1tb stick is faulty.
Can i copy a pro version?!
sorry not sure what you are asking.

@@Me-zd4hv As far as I know you cannot copy Windows.
Chris Waite
What about windows 10 free version. Ohh that is what in this video. Lol. Is there any way to copy windows pro version?!
@@Me-zd4hv You can download a fresh copy of windows 10 from Microsoft just google Windows 10 iso, as far as I know there is no free version of Windows 10 however you can upgrade from an earlier version of Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 free of charge still.
