The first time you plug a USB device into a particular USB port on your computer, Windows
automatically installs a driver for that device. After the driver is installed, you can disconnect
and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps.
Note: Typically, Windows detects a new device after connecting it, and then installs the driver
automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver before connecting.
Check the documentation provided by the device's manufacturer before connecting the device.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring
data by that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area of
Windows to remove the device before disconnecting.
Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before connecting it.
Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.
