## Description

Product Description

Review: Easy to use and does the job - I believe it only works with rigid floppy disks in a casing, not the very 1st type that were flexible, which were in use in pre-historic times, around 1990-1995. I am talking about the very first floppy disks, which were actually floppy and of a bigger size, which older users will remember. Otherwise, I have been able to retrieve old WORD documents I was looking for, which were going back to 1997-1999, and was pleased with that. It works fine. It is easy to use. A good buy.
Review: Did the Job!! - Arrived within a few days and was well packaged. Plugged it into my Windows 10 PC and it was instantly recognised - no downloads or drivers required. I found that it needed to be plugged into the rear of the PC where the USB port comes directly from the board, the front USB ports did not work - this is due to the rear ports supplying more power to run the floppy drive I believe. When I inserted the floppy disk I was able to navigate to Drive A on the computer and view/copy the files from the disk - easy as that. The only difficulty I found was that in order for the reader to see the next disk when I inserted it I had to first unplug and plug back in the reader - I did that for every disk and successfully copied about 25 disks. I'm very pleased with this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use this to also save to flippy disks ?**
A: Yes you can, just remember to toggle the tab on the disk. You may not be old enough to remember to do that!

**Q: Does this drive work with windows 10?**
A: Yes, it runs with Windows 10. I have two of them and a supply of 3.5” floppy disks which I use for security reasons. Confidential and private information is held on the drive and never gets in to my regular PC.
The amount of people who use floppy disks is almost zero in this day and age. I find them very useful even considering that the disk don’t hold much information.

**Q: Does windows 10 recognize floppy drive?**
A: Yes, it works good on Windows 10,

**Q: Can I receive and print my photos**
A: I'm not clear what you think this reader is. If you have 3.5" floppy disks with photos on then you should be able to read/view them through this drive (if they are in a relevant format).
I have not had huge success reading old floppies, but that could be a problem with the disks. Some worked, some not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, and worked on Windows 10
*by S***C on 1 March 2024*

Easy to use, installed and worked - BUT did keep having to unplug it and replug it in, between each disk to get my computer to recognise a new floppy disk and not just overwrite it with the previous disk's then corrupted files! But read the files good, and copied off what I needed. On Win 10.
