Windows 10: Downloading pictures on thumb drive

I am in the process of downloading all my pictures from onedrive onto a thumb drive. It holds 60000 pictures. If the thumb drive gets full and I have pictures left and I get a new thumb drive how do I download the other pictures without duplicating them?* Moved from Community Center

Hi Karen

Insert the USB Thumb drive into your PC

Open Windows File Explorer, create a folder on your Thumb Drive and open that folder

Open the Photos App, and resize the app so you can also see that folder in File Explorer

Select photos in the Photos App, so they are ticked, then just drag those to the folder Window and they will be copied onto the flash drive

Alternatively

Open Windows File Explorer, navigate to your Pictures folder on your Hard drive, select some photos, right click and choose 'Send to' - your flash drive will be bottom of the send to list . . .

 

Can a thumb drive be disabled by malware?

There are quite a few possibilities to what happened to your thumb drive:

1. It might be a simple issue where the partition got corrupted: In this case you can go to Computer Management > Disk Management> and check out what partition your thumb drive currently has. If it currently is in RAW format or is just unallocated, I suggest you unallocate the entire drive and make a new partition. It's possible that you can recover upto 99% of your files with a tool like EaseUS DataRecovery Wizard Pro.
   
2. The malware corrupted your thumb drive's firmware: The malware that your thumb drive may have encountered may be similar to something like BadUSB. It may or may not have modified your drive's firmware to transmit malware, but in any case your thumb drive's pretty dead, and there's not much you can do about it.
