Saving work in windows 10

[kairos44]

Hi,
I want to save my documents to a USB flash drive just over write but I can't seem to work out how to do it! Windows 10 seems to want to make a new copy every time.
any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks .
Richard

Thanks Dougie, What I was after or what I expected was if I transferred my documents to an existing copy of Documents on the flash drive only the updated files would be added but the system seems only capable of checking every file for updates! in my case 13 Gb. I thought the system would just check for any changes and add those files but it seems not to. I hope you understand what I am getting at. The file takes ages to copy 13 Gb. Instead of checking and adding the odd file.
I would appreciate any comments,
Regards
Richard

Can you open Documents first, then highlite only the document Files you wish to transfer, then send to Flash Drive?

Hi ,
That's strange! is there a page two?there seem to be several posts missing. Yes there is an update.
One thing was to delete the latest version of Excel that fixed the problem . my 2007 version of Excel opens every time.I can now open two screens i.e. the main document screen and the memory stick screen. and drag a single folder across. It still makes a copy rather than updating the old folder but the simple get around is once the updated folder is on the memory stick delete the old folder.
many thanks for all your help especially Dougie.
Regards
Richard
