I download the Your Phone app and I can transfer files from the phone to my PC but I can't move anything from the PC to the phone.

What I am actually trying to do is be able to read a PowerPoint file I put on a USB drive and have it be read by my new Surface Duo. Every file manager app that I have tried says that it doesn't read exFAT formatted files. Can you help?

Find the Default USB configuration, tap it and select File Transfer. Make sure the Duo is unlocked when using the USB cable to connect to the PC. The Duo should then show as a drive on the PC and you can copy files to it.
