Connect An Sd Card To My Computer

SD is short for "secure digital." SD cards are small flash based cards that can store personal data. There are three types of SD cards: miniSD, microSD and the regular SD card. Storage space aside, the main difference between the three is their size. For example, an SD card will not fit in a microSD card slot. SD cards can be connected to your computer using an SD card reader. Some computers have SD card slots built in; however, an external USB SD card reader is easy to use and cheap.








Instructions


1. Turn your computer on. At the desktop, connect the SD card reader to any available USB port on your computer.








2. Insert the SD card into the SD card reader. Most SD card readers have an arrow displaying the direction in which the SD card needs to be facing to slide in properly.


3. Click "My Computer". Scroll down to the "Other Devices" section. Click the "F" drive. The F drive represents your SD card. From here, you will be able to access the contents of your SD card. You can drag and drop files onto your computer to move them onto your computer, or you can drag and drop files from your computer and place them onto the SD card.
