The ports will typically be located on the side of a laptop and either the front or back of a desktop. Once you have a USB drive that is compatible with your Windows computer, you can now insert the drive into a USB port. If your Windows computer only has a USB-C port, but your USB drive is a USB-A type drive, then you can either purchase a USB-A to USB-C adapter, or for a small expense, you could buy a new USB-C drive. However, the latest Windows computers are starting to replace the USB-A port with a smaller, slimmer alternative USB-C port. Most people would recognise the USB-A, the large, square-shaped USB drive which can only be plugged in one way. If you are using your USB drive for the first time, it’s important to check that your USB drive is compatible with the USB ports on your computer. Is my USB drive compatible with my computer?
