Default export data from disk to usb

I am trying to save the files on my outdated floppy disk to my usb memory
stick. Is there anyway to do it without opening and saving them one by one?
If I try to do it by using the "send to" feature it says "target cannot
handle this type of information".

Use Windows Explorer to copy the data from floppy to USB memory.
Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are
the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption.

Put the floppy and the USB stick in. Copy files from floppy, paste into USB
using Windows Explorer.
