When do you need to copy USB to USB?

However, copying your USB drive to another one is necessary for some situations. For example, when your current USB drive gets filled up and you need more space, you can clone it to another larger USB drive for an easy upgrade. Besides, when the old USB flash drive is about to fail, you can copy it to another one for data security before it totally stops working properly.

But, how to copy USB to USB drive? To copy USB drive to USB drive seems like duplicating a USB drive. The basic way is to copy files in Windows Explorer. Plug the two USB drives into your computer and make sure they can be detected. Open the Windows Explorer, select the files on the old USB drive, right-click it and select Copy. Then, Paste them to another USB drive.

This will work well. But if there are files hidden or protected by security features, or the USB drive is a bootable USB drive, simply copying is not workable. And if you store lots of files and your USB has a big capacity, this work will be annoying.

In this case, you can turn to the USB to USB copy software, AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard which can create an exact copy of your USB drive with all contents, including the hidden or protected data, or the master boot record, slack space, and any unused space.  And this free partition manager works well with all Windows operating systems including Windows  11/10/8/7 and Windows XP/Vista. You can easily manage your devices on any PC.
