how do I transfer documents from floppy disc to computer file?

Floppy disks!?! Now that’s old stuff. I’ll assume what you mean is you have a floppy disk with data on it but no floppy drive on a newer computer.

The easiest thing to do is to buy an external USB floppy drive which are easily available for under $50. Simply plug it in. Modern Macs and PCs will automatically detect the drive when you connect it.

Once connected open the drive, which normally appears as the A: drive on a PC, and you can copy the disk onto your hard drive.

If you have a lot of information on floppies then we’d strongly recommend copying them onto flash or external hard drives. Floppy disks are prone to failing over time.
