USB drives not recognized under Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 7, why?


If USB doesn't show up on Windows in File Explorer, fix it with a new drive letter, or update the drive driver!



Formatting and converting from the drive can also help! Especially if the drive has been formatted with a file system that Windows normally does not support, e.g. B. Apple's Mac, or Linux.
