I was able to do that with this USB Floppy Drive, no software download needed. I wrote my book GOOD DAYS AND MAD back in 1994. I’ve had something like 7 different computers since then and I never transferred the file for book to each new one. So when I finally found the old floppy disc with my book on it, I had no way to download it on to my latest computer. Then I found the Chuanganzhuo 3.5″ USB External Floppy Disk Drive Portable 1.44 MB FDD for PC external USB drive. The company says it good for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8. No Extra Driver Required. Plug and Play. I used on my Windows 10 machine and yes, it worked! It’s super-slim, lightweight and takes its power requirements from the USB port. Although no external power adapter is required the company says: “Please plug our external floppy disk drive into rear USB interface of motherboard directly. If you connect our floppy drive through USB hub,USB extension cable or frontal USB interface,it may can not be recognized by your computer since it cannot get sufficient power from your computer.” They also add: “This reader might not be able to read all discs because of the operating software on your computer or the old floppy disks.” Fortunately it worked fine for me! And I paid less that $21 for it.
