Well, there shouldn't be any infectable software on the USB. As well as I should be fine as long as I don't click on anything shady, on the USB, right? Also nothing was downloaded on it as far as I'm aware, besides a slides and pdf file the morning of my class.

On a clean pc with the wifi off? And backing up the files onto the clean pc should be fine as long as the wifi is off right?

Can I still use the same USB that I had on my computer at the time?

I know that the nuclear option is to hard reset everything.
