    I received a USB 3.0 flash drive as a gift - the package says it works with Windows XP and older versions of windows. Will I be able to use this flash drive to transfer files from a Windows 10 laptop to a Windows 11 laptop?

    Yes your USB 3.0 flash drive will work on Windows 11. I have two of them which I use on Windows 11.

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!
