And it's a good idea because those little flash drives can become corrupt quite easily.

Do a little preparation first; create folder/s on your computer to store the contents of the flash drives. Name/label them according to any system that makes sense to you.

A suggestion: after you have created the folders, open up the receiving folder. Resize the window and plonk it on half of your screen. Open the flash drive and do the same, so that you have both folders open side by side on your screen.

Then select and drag the files from one to the other. Keep an eye on the 'copying' dialogue window that appears. If the flash drives are really old they may be slow to copy to the computer. It will be painstaking but certainly worth it.
