Windows 10: Backup with a flash drive

How do I backup my everything on my computer with a flash drive ?

Windows Backup to flash drive

Intending to use Windows Backup to back up my hard drive onto my flash drive, I see that Windows does not allow creation of a system image to a flash drive. The only other option is to create a system repair disk--but that seems to provide only "system recovery
tools" if there's no system image. Can I not use Windows Backup to back up my data onto my flash drive?

I know that I can back up my files by copying and pasting, but this is a laborious process that continually stops for files that can't be copied, and requires me to agree each time to exclude the file. If I can't use Windows backup, can you suggest an alternate
program?

 

CD to flash drive

Hi Pam,

There are several ways to copy your pictures from the CD to the Flash drive. One of which is by using the shortcut keys to copy and paste it.

We suggest following the steps below:

• Insert the CD and flash drive to your PC.
  
• Use Cortana and type File Explorer then click it.
• Choose This PC.
• Open the CD drive.
• If all the pictures are in a specific folder, press Ctrl + A
  on your keyboard to automatically choose all the pictures then, press Ctrl + C to copy it.
• Afterwards, Open the Flash drive, choose the location where you want to copy the pictures then press
  Ctrl + V to paste it.

Let us know if you need anything else.

 

Windows Backup to flash drive

The Windows backup program is known to be restrictive and temperamental. I recommend you use a third-party tool, e.g. the free version of Macrium Reflect. I also recommend you use a 500 GByte USB disk as a backup medium instead of a flash drive. Much more
capacity, faster, more reliable.
