Thank You I will, it's nice to have someone answer a question and not think the person asking it is really dumb.😄

Thank you Ken, you made my life a lot simpler. I am a old dude who until recently had no computer knowledge, not even able to fire one up properly. Now I can store my music files safely and I don't need a blank cassette (LOL!)

Hey, Ken: I'm an old guy and by no means a digital native, so I wanted to thank you for the best flash drive tutorial that I was able to find. Simple, clear, concise and perfect for my limited ablilty. Also, thanks for not making yourself out to be the biggest computer guru since Bill Gates.

[@dougbarnes5564]

In all the years of having computers, I've never felt the need for a thumb drive, until now. This was very informative, and helpful, and you touched on everything I 'sort of knew', and watching your video showed me, I guess I know a bit more about computers than I thought! The only thing you didn''t mention...how do you tell when the 'stick' is getting close to being full. I assume something will pop up on screen like a warning...you're running out of room...but most likely it won't. Thank you again for this right to the point, informative video.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

I'm glad this video was able to help you out. To check how much space is left, open up the file explorer on your computer. On the left hand side, find your drive and right click on it. Then select properties. This should show you how much space is still available.

[@dougbarnes5564]

@@NorthernVikingEveryday Hello (again). I could never get mine to work past the clicking on docs then my pc. Where I see the USB on the bottom of the row, click on it, and it looks nothing like what is in your video. Put it away, and thought I'd try it again tonight. Same thing. Now not sure what I'm doing wrong...Thanks. ((Merry Christmas!))

Thanks for making it so easy. I just turned 70. I know right. Anyway, things are not as easy as they use to be. I never thought I would be one of those old guys who couldn't get a handle on tech. Alas, while I don't fully recognize that fellow in my current reflection, I am starting to suspect the dim shadow behind me, is indeed him. And he's approach might be more rapid than I would like to admit. In any case I went ahead and subscribed. I'll be checking in now and then. Of particular interest are any videos that might help an old guy deal a little more effectively with Windows 11. I was doing marginally well with WIndows 10. I even thought about trying to roll my new Dell back to 10. But I know it's probably best if I try to get a handle on it. I'm sure there are capabilities that make 11 better than 10. At least I hope that's the case.

Sorry, I'm a computer ignoramus. When I did exactly what you said, and dragged the file over to the USB area, it didn't move the file, all it did was create a "shortcut" to the file. No file was actually moved to the USB. How can I move a file? You make it look easy. I'll try the "send to" method now.
