First, make a folder on your desktop...name it embroidery, or designs, or easy to recognize word. Play your cd in your computer...click 'my computer', find the removable drive that the cd is in ( you can hover the mouse to find it)....click & choose 'open' or 'play'. (I don't know your OS.) so anyway, when the file opens showing all your designs, drag mouse and hi-lite the designs you want to move...a few at a time, then copy or send to the folder you set up on your desktop. In future just open folder, choose design, and send to flash drive/USB device. You can move the folder to wherever you want to store your designs. Set up category folders inside your main folder, and organize so you won't have to open the whole folder of designs ea time. If I have confused you with directions, I'm sorry--send me an email and ask for clearer instructions...you can fuss at me if you like!
