Last night the thumb drive worked great. I copied my bookmarks from my PC to the new Macbook. Then I erased the thumb drive so I could do the same with the program I want to move from my PC to the new Macbook.

Any help will be appreciated.

OK, reread your post.
Which computer did you use to erase the thumb drive? If you used the MAC, it may have corrupted the drive so Windows cannot find it. Next how do you define "find it", are you using file explorer or something else? If the drive is corrupted, it may not automatically appear in Windows. Try using file explorer, if you see a "D" drive this should be your thumb drive, you can remove it to make sure. Once you plug the drive in again, reformat the drive, then you should be able to copy the program over, but as I stated before I doubt it will run on the MAC, unless this is a MAC program you downloaded.
