![]() Let’s presume you do not have large video files on the XP, then you would be good to go with a flash drive, unmodified. ![]() Only full-size video/movie files can be larger than 4GB. Most photo, music and MS Office-type files are not this large. Most flash drives are formatted FAT32 or maybe ExFAT (so they work with PCs and Macs).If any of the files are larger than 4 GB size there would be limitations with the drive unless you reformat it to NTFS, but we would only go there if we had to. Also, your Win 10 PC is a USB3 device, and you will want to use it before and after doing the transfers from the XP.Ī lot will depend on what kinds of files (and their sizes) you want to copy to the flash drive. You don’t need a USB2 flash drive (also likely hard to find any today.) You can use a USB3 flash drive since USB3 is backward compatible with USB2 devices (as the XP is). Here’s why I say this:įlash drives are formatted differently than the hard drives we have been talking about here. I believe you can transfer files on an XP to a Win 10 PC without any problems with a flash drive.
