How to remove write protection from USB drive in Windows
If your computer tells you that the media is write-protected, look for a write-protect switch (also called a lock switch) on the USB or SD card. If the media has this switch, make sure the switch is set to write, not read-only.

Insert the USB drive or SD card into the appropriate port on your computer.
