    Hello John, how are you?

    My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.

    This is an open community, whenever you need you can share the problem so that possible repairs are suggested.

    Could you give more information about the problem, please?

    Are you referring to common files like photo files, word, excel, pdf ?

    Are you trying to save a file in a specific program?

    USB drives should appear in your computer's Windows Explorer.

    Could you share more details, what exactly are you trying to do?

    If it's a regular file you're trying to save to USB, you can do it like this.

    1. Select the desired file;
    2. Press CTRL+C or right-click on it and select Copy;
    3. Access Windows Explorer by pressing Windows+E;
    4. Access the USB drive by double clicking on it;
    5. When opening it, press the CTRL+V key or right click on some blank space and select Paste, and the file will be saved on the USB drive;
