Write protection

Imagine you have a special notebook where you like to write stories and draw pictures. You want to make sure that no one can erase or change anything you've already written in your notebook because you don't want to lose your hard work.

Write protection works kind of like that. When you have write protection on your computer files or a flash drive, it means that nobody else can change, delete or edit the files – they are locked and protected. It's like having a special lock on your notebook to keep your stories and drawings safe.

Sometimes, when you want to change something in a file or save something new, you need to turn off the write protection first by entering a password. It's like unlocking the lock on your notebook.

This is helpful if you have important files that you don't want to lose or if you want to make sure no one accidentally messes things up. It's like having a protective shield around your files to keep them safe.
