Copy files from GoPro Micro SD Card onto Windows 7 Drives
So, for some reason, when I plug in my MicroSD Card into an SD Adapter card, and then plug that into my multi-memory card reader, it shows up in Windows Explorer, but doesn't show any files are on the card, even though it's completely full. Nice. Thanks for that, GoPro.

This is how I did it last time:
Method #4 - Manually with Windows Explorer in Windows 7:
Go to Start > Computer.
In the Portable Devices Section, double click on your camera.
Double-click on the GoPro MTP Client Disk Volume.
Drag your photos and video to your desired storage location.
However, when I tried it this way, it was in my GoPro Hero4 and it said it would take a million years, so instead, I put it into the MicroSD Memory Card adapter and then put that into the memory card reader and it was much faster, I think.
Method #2 - Use an SD Adapter
If you have an SD adapter for your MicroSD card, you can insert the Micro SD card into the adapter and insert the adapter into your computer.
Double-click on your SD card, and you should see two folders: DCIM and MISC.
Now double-click on the DCIM folder. In that, you'll see a folder named 100GOPRO. (Note - if you took more than 9999 pictures or videos, you'll see 101GOPRO, 102GOPRO, 103GOPRO, etc. folders).
From there you can drag & drop the files from your SD card to your computer.
But using this method, I do see the 2 folders named DCIM and MISC. But I don't see any files in either folder. Nice.
If I connect the GoPro with the memorty card to the laptop, then I do see all of my videos now. Hmmmm. Looks like I could copy them over. Let's try...
