    No worries, I got you covered! Here's how you can safely format a USB drive on Windows 10 to store your digital assets: 1. Connect your USB drive to your Windows 10 computer. 2. Open 'This PC' or 'My Computer' and find your USB drive. 3. Right-click on the USB drive and choose 'Format'. 4. In the Format window, select the file system you want to use. NTFS is recommended for better security and compatibility. 5. Optionally, you can give your USB drive a name in the 'Volume label' field. 6. Click 'Start' to start the formatting process. 7. Wait for the formatting to complete. Remember to back up your digital assets before formatting the USB drive, as formatting will erase all data on it. Once the formatting is finished, you can safely store your digital assets on the USB drive.
