Beginners Guide to Using a USB Flash Drive - Ask a Tech #70
Ғылым және технология
We get a lot of questions from viewers about how to use a USB flash drive. We have covered this topic before in other episodes of the GuruBrew (see link below) but thought we would repeat the process of copying, deleting, viewing and moving in hopes of filling in the missing answers for some lingering questions.

Thank you so much for making it simple. So many of us older people just don't know a lot of the basics, and it's nice to have someone to explain it in detail.
You do a better job of explaining than 99.9% of all the others. The others almost always go way too fast. Thank you so much!!!!

For an 83 year old that has been looking to use a USB I hit the jackpot when I discovered your video. Excellent jog of explaining the process. Great! Thank you. Frank

so sweet😇😇😇
You do better at explaining technical questions better than anyone else I have ever watched!! Thank you!
Thank you GuruBrew 2. I'm glad there's folks like you willing to teach the rest of us. I followed your instructions, and it worked. I really appreciate you. You are a Godsend.
This is clearly your gift. The way you explained step-by-step, so slowly was what I liked best I have never been able to watch videos without changing the speed everyone else talks so fast, and I have to watch the videos over and over along with pausing which causes so much confusion for me with you. I didn’t have to do that . I wish more were like you. You’re a great educator. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
In all my searching I have not found one person that was easier to understand than this gentleman. Thank you.
Hi. Thank you so much for helping a 70 yr old lady to understand and use my 1st flash drive. I love to learn new things and you have made this so easy and clear for me. You are worth your weight in gold. Thanks x
Finally, someone doing a tutorial that doesn't leave out crucial steps in their dialogue or using terms only techies understand. Keep up your great work. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your video I do have a question I think I misses to same it on flash drive I really appreciate if I hear from you thank you very much
Thank you VERY much for disseminating this information slowly and calmly. I have taken MANY computer classes over the years but I still have a problem understanding this stuff. Your teaching style is excellent and very much appreciated.
I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years, literally. Thank you ever so much for this precise, clear, and easy to understand tutorial!
Thank you SO much for a clear and complete description of this topic. Such a breath of fresh air compared to the rapid and confusing deliveries we "non-techies" are usually subject to. Thanks again!
Thanks so much! I'm not very computer savvy and this really helped me and two other girls in the office. You have become my personal computer guru!!!

I have watched a number of your videos and and I would just like to let you know that I wish everybody would make videos like yours very detailed , short and to the point. Keep up the good work you are appreciated. thanks for helping
Sir, You are a breath of fresh air to a 76 year old, frustrated, long time struggIing 'beginner'. I wanted to express so many things in this message but I didn't want to use the wrong terms so, to be safe, I read the comments. And I immediately realized everything I wanted to convey to you had already been expressed. So by way of the commenters first names, the following spoke my mind precisely: grace h, Joy A, Dorothy, Stephan, streeteats, Ross, Snow, Charlotte, Joy C and the next 17 entries, which were the remaining ones I viewed. Center stage goes to Barrie, Gregory and Charlotte! Thank you, on behalf of myself , and others, especially my fellow discouraged, senior citizens for turning on that big, beautiful, bright spotlight "at the end of the tunnel".
Nice job explaining the basics of using a USB flash drive. I liked learning how to select multiple items with holding down the control key and copying them all at once to the flash drive. Thanks for this helpful computer info.
Thank you Steve...after trolling around the net,u tube etc looking for some info on installing mem' stick..i just about give up reading and listening on u tube to the biggest load of amateur crap i ever heard in my life and i kid you not....i was about to close down ,and bingo, i found your video....all i can say is brilliant Steve,,i watched the video ,went to the pc and job done in 45 seconds.....well done you ,and very professionally narrated .....Thank you Barrie
I love your slow, easy going style...Thanks, Vernon...You rock!
Very good! You were slow enough so that my old brain could absorb the information. Thank you
Thanks! Actually I thought I was pretty good with computers and have been using them for decades but to my surprise I learned a few very useful things from this one!! You have a very good ability to describe how computers work!!
I just happened upon your site, and I am glad I did. It was a very informative clip. Now I understand flash drives. I feel comfortable enough to use them now. Thanks Dave
Thanks so much, it was a great refresher course! As you get older you forget the simplest devices!
I'm retired and got a laptop a few years ago. Was thinking about learning how to use flash drives and just found your video. So easy to understand and follow. I will be trying it. Thank you Dolores
I really like your presentation! You approach these tasks with a calm and modulated voice that is as soothing as reassuring. Meanwhile I'm running around like crazy trying to get it all the first time. Thank God for the replay function. Thank you for the time invested.
You are so patient and slow. Just what I need. I appreciate it.

Great info with great pacing, real time visual demo, thank you. I’ll be back guru.
Thank you for your help. I am 70, recently finished grad school on line……with a lot of help from you. You are a real blessing!
Thank you... my husband and me just transfered while following your instructions... That's really help.

Great video. Very helpful. Like the professional and clear way to explain.Thank you.
Thanks so much - you are a great teacher. Most take too much for granted from us begninners
A nice and easy video to follow, I am 77 years old and trying hard to keep up. I have just bought a photo scanner and I am learning to archive the thousands of slides and photographs I have taken over the years. Many thanks
Oh Steve, you are so easy to understand so I've now subscribed. I'm 70 & have no kids or grandkids to help me out when I don't know how to do something on my computer. You are now my official adopted tech-son, okay? Thanks for your patient strait forward how-tos.
Thanks for a great and easy to follow video meny I have looked at just lose me in a minute or so , keep safe in these difficult times kind regards Mike in Durham England .
As a mature learner on computers and finding same very difficult I found this video excellent. You spoke slowly and illustrated the movements very clearly. I will certainly watch more of your video's. Glad to say I can use a Flash Drive Thanks very much.
Thank you so much~! I've worked on computers, doing several jobs but never learned how to use a flash drive! Your video was very helpful. Now, I don't have to be worried about if my computer ever crashes, and I lose all my documents or pictures! I've got the flash drives, so I'm all set. After watching your video, it took me like 2 minutes to save all the files from my work this year, so that's very, very cool. I had to add to this. I see that others had the same as me, no window popped up, but, a small screeen popped up in the lower corner, that said that there was an external device connnected, I clicked on that, which opened up the window!! Then, it was all the same as what you did!! Thanks again!
You do an excellent job explaining this stuff to us old folks. Thanks!
Awsome !Thank you so much! It was wonderfully explained and I did it so easy! 👍👍👍
Just what I needed - you're a great tutor - thank you! :-)
Exactly what I needed. For some unknown reason I was holding down the right mouse button. It works so much better now. I will be coming to your channel often.
Thank you so much for explaining how to use a USB in such a simple to understand way. At the age of 71 it takes longer to do simple tasks but you made it look easy. I know this video is 5 years old but I do hope you feel better and please stay safe. Thank you again from Michael in England 👍🇬🇧❤️😷
Thank You for this tutorial,VERY helpful.
I surprised myself by what I could do after listening to your video. Thank you very much!
I can appreciate your slow, direct approach. Easy to follow and learn. Thanks.
Fantastic1 Very easy to follow and no annoying background music as a distraction. Real useful and saved me money on the device I was about to buy. Very many thanks, keep up the good work, I'll use you again.
Thank you for going very slowly for us old people, I have subsribed to your channel

Thank you so much for this. I'm 21 but I'm too embarrassed to ask my peers for help because I'm _really_ not tech savvy. I asked my friend what a Mac was once and she just laughed really hard so since then I don't ask tech questions. Thank you so much for this video.
You do a terrific job explaining things and I especially like that you do not talk a mile a minute! I appreciate your help.
I am impressed by the detailed explanation. I would truly not ask for a better one. Thanks so much.
Thank you! I think I have found a way to use the computer! This was something I have been afraid to try!
Thank you so much you made it so simple for us older people
Excellent presentation and thank you for explaining this process so clearly. I am 80 and will use this a lot!
THANK YOU, GuruBrew. Like a lot of others in the comment section, I appreciate your going slow, not leaving anything out, and giving info that actually precisely matches the configurations of the software that you're talkinig about. (A surprising number of "expert" techs actually give WRONG information.)
Thank you for explaining this so clearly. And step by step. I have had others try to show me but they missed a few steps on how to do this. You have made it real clear. Than you again.
your video was very helpful sir,thank you very much.
You do an excellent job. You are easy to understand, your voice is pleasant to listen to. You seem very patient. You go thru your lesson slow enough to follow. Showing the items on the screen over your shoulder and also what you are wkg with really helps. I found you by accident but certainly hope I can find my way back. Thank you. You deserve an A ➕️ 👏 🏆
Thank you, your directions are perfect, helpful, and greatly appreciated for making them comprehensible.
Very informative! Thank you.

Thank you for taking your time to show us, one of the things we should know, if we work on computers
Great little video. Love your slow, easy-going manner. Gave me time to take notes. I am near seventy, came to computers late, never got the basics, so thank you. You are a good one.
Thank you for your help
Thanks so much...very good teaching
Thanks for a very easy video to understand and follow. It worked and you have picked up another subscriber. Keep them coming.

Thanks for the education,I'm in my 70's so all the information is welcome,Thanks for posting, Frank
Thank you, This helps.
Thank you so much!! New subscriber here. I am fed up with the Geek Squad.
Thank you for explaining beautifully. You're a good teacher - everything is difficult unless you know how.
Thank you..Great video and thanks for not rushing through it so viewers can easily follow your instructions.
So appreciate your common sense instructions - keep up the great work, not everyone speaks tech language and I am excited to 'correct' all the flash drive attempts I have made and do it right. :-)
Thank you! Your explanation was excellent! My question is, can you download KZread videos to a flash drive? If so do you have a video that explains this?
Thank you for the tuititorial. I am not computer savy and have been wanting to try using a flash drive for a long time. You explained the process very well and I'm excited about giving it a try. Blessings!
Excellent. Very informative and clearly presented. Thanks
Thank you so much, you have a great teaching method . How would I transfer my financial stuff from web site to a flash drive from my desk top to laptop? thanks again

To hear the tones is normal, BUT BEFORE you pull it back out Please find out how to do it with the special icon down on the lower right tray you click on to have it be safe to pull it out without any possible loss of info or damage, some people do it anyway but its a good thing after you get used to it.

I THANK YOU Sir for taking the time to make One of only a VERY FEW CLEARY EXPLAINED Educational as well as VERY informative Videos on KZread ! Your tone of voice, well chosen words to explain what You're teaching us , and SO MUCH MORE are TOTALLY Awesome ! So often People make Videos, ( I would believe they were well intended to help ) , yet , the Sound quality, not Speaking loud enough to hear what's being said, ( most often , They mumble when they speak ) , as well as The way and words they choose, for Myself , makes me look elsewhere on KZread for information Please, don't misunderstand , I'm sure They were trying to be of help. If only They had taken the time to go over and edit the video! I Definitely am one of You're subscribers ! I only wish others would learn how to properly make KZread videos such as the way YOU make them , No doubt They would be more helpful. Again , I THANK you for helping this 63 year old P/C " newbie ! God bless you , ( and please continue to make more videos ! ( If possible , more about using cromebooks ). Ron Warren
Steve ...Amazing video, totally explained and excellent camera work U make it so easy !!!!!!!
