3. Open Windows Explorer, then double-click the removable drive associated with your device.

4. Drag and drop files from your laptop's hard drive to the Android. Create new folders on the device to organize your files.

5. Open the Notification panel when you are finished transferring files to your Android. Tap 'Turn Off USB Storage,' then touch 'Turn Off USB Storage' in the pop-up window. Disconnect the Android from your computer.
