Flash drive with wedding photos/videos is not formatted, what should I do to recover the files?

bobbybigplayB to Tech Support@poweruser.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

I have a flash drive with wedding photos which i can view the photos and videos when plugging the flash drive into my TV, but when I put it in my PC on windows 11 or even my iMac, it says the drive needs to be formatted, which would erase the drive. What should I do to recover the files without wiping the drive?
