Although most often used in mobile digital equipment such as cameras and gaming devices, an SD memory card can also run on a computer and even hold files and programs, just like a USB flash drive. If you have content stored on an SD memory card that you want to back up and copy onto your computer, you can do this without any additional programs or software installed on your system.
Instructions
1. Connect the SD memory card reader to the computer via the USB cable running from the back of the device.
2. Insert the SD memory card into the reader. In a moment, the computer states it has detected a new removable memory device.
3. Right-click on the desktop (or any other location on the computer you want to store the contents of the SD memory card) and select "New" followed by "Folder." A folder appears. Title the folder and press the "Enter" key. Open the folder and leave it open for now.
4. Open "My Computer" ("Computer" in the latest versions of Windows) and double-click the SD removable memory card icon.
5. Drag-and-click over all of the items in the SD memory card. This highlights all of the items in the card. Click on one of the highlighted items and drag it into the created folder. Wait for all of the content to copy over. Once the copying process has finished you can right-click the SD memory card icon and select "Eject" from the pull-down menu.
