Why would a USB thumb drive work on one computer and not another?
Why would a USB thumb drive work on one computer and not another? I have a 256 Gb USB Sandisk thumb drive that I want to use for backup with Macrium Reflect.
I have two computers:
A Dell T1700 desktop running Windows 10 Pro. v10.0.19045.
An HP Spectre laptop running Windows 10 Home v10.0.19045.
The thumb drive can be seen on both computers in their respective Device Managers.
But that is where the similarity ends.
The laptop's File explorer sees the drives letter, name, and all contents -- folders and files.
The desktop's File explorer sees nothing: not even the drive letter.
An "identical" Sandisk drive can be seen by both computers.
What might explain this?
