Copper Contributor

I just built my pc.

MSI 3060 trio

I5 12400  12th gen

16gb ram

1tb samsung 970 evo

MAG B660M MORTAR WIFI DDR4

 

Flash drive I am using to transfer is recoginzed by my old pc, but when i plug into my new pc it will bring me through the steps up to when i have to "Look" for a flash drive. I cant find it.... I used the browse section as well. Pretty upsetting.

Hi, have you tried to change the port, or remove the disk and shut down the system and with the system closed - reinstall the USB, and restart the system

The system settings (printer devices) should be the default and autoplay enabled!

In case this is a newly installed PC, try run Windows Update and download and install all updates and restart your PC and try again.
Have a look at:

Try going to device manager and click on scan for changes. See if this helps. If not see if you need to install drivers for usb
