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.

My Flash Drive Wont Work

I don't really think it's a question of durability, my flash drive is on my keychain and I throw it around and have stepped on it. It's been through all kinds of abuse and it still works as well as the day I bought it. My uncle on the other hand, his computer kills any usb item he plugs into it.
