    Thank you Steve, for talking plainly so I could understand what you are talking about, and not jumping all over the place as some do. I almost gave up trying to find out how to use the Flash Drive. My Daughter always done this for me, she died in 2018, so I am learning to do this my self. Being 74 years old, it was not easy finding this information. You are an Angel and a Blessing. Thank you so much!

    I have a friend who isn't very well-versed with technology/computers, and asked me to write him an email with instructions on how to use a USB drive. Virtually every grueling detail I was dreading having to verbalize is covered fantastically well in this video. Thank you very much, GuruBrew, for respecting that there are still users who need every detail meticulously spelled out.

    It is refreshing to have explanations with a good background overview and which do not assume that the learner/Luddite is familiar with the terminology or device. Completely free of condescension too. You did a good job. Thank you!

    Simple explanation which is why I liked it. I’m just learning about how to store the 1000’s of photos etc taken of my kids and grandchildren (11]. Thanks for well done presentation for a beginner.

    Thank you! Just like another posting to you I am a mature lady of 64. Now I have two towers and two laptops and am finding out all the amazing things I can do. I am an Artist for 38 years and have made a great living this way. Using this technology for manipulation of my product is Trippy( Not including security cameras and 3D printing ) ! I was thinking I needed a disk player on my new tower but after seeing you I don't! I appreciate you...many thanks!

      This could have been my comment. I too am 71 and this helped me soooo much. Steve really went back to basics and taught me alot. I am glad Ms Young learned it too. Kinda makes me think maybe I am not the only one around that doesn't know computers very well. This is Wanda Crago and I really want to thank each and every one of the crew on Guru

  • @rockdog2584
    @rockdog2584 9 лет назад +1

    I just started college and am not all that computer savvy. Of course, today's college experience is all about knowing how to use computers. My first 3 classes are, pretty much, all about getting comfortable with using computers and unfamiliar software (like Canvas) and one of my first assignments requires my being able to put my school work on a flash drive (which I have NEVER done).
    Your video makes it look pretty darned easy! Thank you!!!

  • @katherinemayers2215

    Hi Steve I truly enjoyed this video. I am a Mac user now but I get the idea. I have never used my thumb no now it is called Flash drive but I am learning from all you great people who put video's out there for us to watch and learn. I love youtube video's only problem I have is some people do not keep the camera on what the hands are doing and then I cannot see what I need to know. I followed you though. I hope you have more for me to watch. Wish all your video's were shown together so I don't have to hunt for them.
    Keep up the good work - 72 year old people enjoy learning from you younger ones.
    Just Judy

    Well done my friend. Steve, through the years on RUclips and other informative sites I've listened to many instructors on how to's? Not to take away from some of them, but you pal stand alone from them all ! A true gift you have to give back to others. Your calm and cool thoroughness of explaining is spot on. Without confusion of any sort. And for that ! Even though reading all of these comments of mutual feelings on your teaching skills. I have to put my 2 cents in. And for that I give you a At ta Boy, My Man, and a pat on the back! As a reminder well done Sir. And if are paths should cross one day. You got a Brew or 2 on me! Thanks, Peace & Rock n' Roll !

    I found this video very helpful. I've had friends saving things on my flash drive for me but I really didn't understand what to do with it once I viewed it in my computer. Now I understand how to transfer it, move it to the desktop and delete it if I no longer need it. Thanks a bunch.

  • @roberth.kubota9679
    @roberth.kubota9679 4 года назад +2

    Thanks for the information. I like the way you spoke so clearly and slowly. I've got too much stuff on my computer, so I'll store a lot of the seldom used stuff in USB Drives. I understand I can always use it to access what's been stored. I've never handled one before, but I have the confidence that it'll work out.

I didn't get straight answers/info from those sites but having watched your clip I have all my questions answered by your good self. I'm definitely no techie but I'm confident enough now to go ahead and buy a stick. Thanks very much indeed for being so clear and easy to understand. Cheers.

Can any modern USB Flash Drives work on my Dell Inspiron 530 computer, and would you advise going for two 64Go FDs or one 128Go FD drive,to store data, Many thanks, and keep up the good work

    Another good tip that I use is Renaming the USB stick, like `Steve`s File Cabinet` then in the future when you want to save an item there`s no confusion on which Drive you want to save it too as Steve`s File Cabinet will appear in the list of Drives, sometimes people get confused over all the Drive letters i.e C. D.E.F Drive etc.

  • @jessicafaulkner4946
    @jessicafaulkner4946 5 лет назад +5

    Yes, it was informative and you do a good job presenting; vocal tone is even and you consistently make eye contact back to the viewer. I must admit that I'm one of those people who know enough about technology to sometimes get myself into trouble. Because of that, I have purchased flash drives that I thought were a good deal but didn't know quite where to go from there. So, on saying that, I have a 32GB Sand Disk flash drive that I would like to use on my Chromebook. How much data can this substantially hold and what is the duration of the product? More than or less than 10 years? One more question. How do you suggest moving data from your older flash drive safely to a newer one? Thanks in advance and again, thank you for your wonderful how to video. You've just earned a follower.

I DJ a local Jazz show and have tried (I believe) all I can do, but the disc player keeps reading error. It will only play one song loaded on the USB drive. Any suggestions?
