I would not use this brand flash drive to save my files.

Borac · Answer

No -- you need to add physical memory...

You need to go in the Best Buy Store and ask an associate about the PNY flash drive for 64B memory. Please let them know that you are getting these messages and would like to know how to save important files etc,.

Only if your PC memory is pictures, vids etc. Then you can store them on flash drives instead. I'd be looking into buying another hard drive (internal or external)

If your computer is running out of memory you would need to add physical memory. A flash drive is only a place to store files (documents, pictures, etc.) Its not a good place for installing programs unless you plan on having it plugged in all of the time in which case I would recommend an external hard drive.

Yes and no. If you move data from your hard drive to this flash drive then you can free up enough space to install updates. The real issue sounds like you need a bigger internal hard drive or solid state drive in your computer though and the flash drive will only be a temporary fix. If you have important data it should always be in two places.

No this item will not work. Memory and Storage are two different components to a computer. My advice is set up an appointment with Geek squad who can help clear any cached memory you have so that you can upgrade your computer.

No but you can store information on the flash drive and free up some storage space on your laptop or desk top

Only if you use this to take some things off your laptop!

Benedict · Answer

It is a portable drive for storage.
