Spent ages searching for answer. Tried very hard. Tried Users Forum, etc. I’m a 
beginner, not technical, and it’s all too confusing. Can you help?


I have text, document files  from windows XP sp3 on Flash drive. Now I have new 
Dell PC  with Windows 8.1. But when I click on files to open and work / edit 
them,   they won’t open. I double left click.  When I select a file from the My 
Documents folder from my flash drive list, a page comes up with choice, “Open 
or Save”   I don’t want to save, which I think means save to hard drive;  I 
thought I’d just work from  files on flash drive;  to save hard drive space. Is 
that possible, normal? Just to Open?

I’m a writer; my main use for computer.
