    One easy way:

    Open File Explorer

    Right click on the album and scroll down to Properties. It should list the size of that album. If it is smaller than your flash drive, left click on the album and drag it to the flash drive name over in the left column and drop it there.

    Click on the flash drive name to make sure everything went there.

    OR...

    After making sure there's enough room on the flash drive (Properties) right click and select Copy. Then click on the flash drive name to open it, and right click again to Paste.

    Voila!

    And, if all the Albums are within a main Folder, you can copy them all at the same time ..Just Follow Rockys instructions with just the main Folder..I'm thinking you're making a back-up..

    While Drag/Drop works great, here's how I usually do it..

    Right-click the file or Folder you want>Select 'Send To'..

    In the pop-out menu, select your drives name..Copies are now made in that drive..

    When any drive is connected to your machine, Windows adds it to the send to list..When you remove the drive, its gone until re-inserted..

    If you're wanting to back-up your entire "Pictures" library, give this a shot-really simple..

    Click the"Start"button > in the right pane, right-click 'Pictures'> select properties to check size..

    If all's good, right click Pictures again>Send To your drive..Now just sit back and enjoy the progress bar as the copies are made..

    I somehow forgot Send to... What a boner. That's the easiest way!

    It only gets complicated if the size of the album is larger than the capacity of the flash drive. The simplest way out of that dilemma is to buy a bigger flash drive, quite honestly.

    There is a good basic YouTube video about changing disks/directories/thumb drive:
