Instructions for use
A memory key can be read and written to like a normal hard disk. Simply connect it to a USB port while the operating system is running so that it appears like a removable disk identified by a letter.
Be careful when inserting the memory key plug into the computer's USB port, as it is very fragile!
We strongly advice you to scan your USB Key with an up to date antivirus before using it.
Caution
An external USB device should be turned off before disconnecting it from the computer (click on the icon "Safely remove hardware" in the taskbar on the right-hand side at the bottom of the screen).
Remark
A memory key allows data to be collected and transferred to a computer, but it is not itself a reliable medium for backing up.
