You can use a USB cable to connect your tablet to a Windows computer and transfer music, pictures, and other files in both directions. This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is supported by most recent versions of Windows. If you are using USB tethering, you must turn that off before you can use USB to transfer files between your tablet and computer.
When you connect your tablet to the USB port on your computer, its USB storage is mounted as a drive and appears on your computer screen. You can now copy files back and forth as you would use any other external device. When youre finished, simply disconnect the tablet by unplugging the USB cable.
