Instructions
1. Insert the external storage device into a USB slot in your computer.

If you want to copy all the files in the folder, press "Ctrl + A" to select all files, then press "Ctrl + C" to copy.
4. Navigate to the drive or folder where you want to save the pictures. Alternatively, you can create a new folder where you will save the files.
