If so, you can plug it into your laptop and it will look like a removable drive. Just drag and drop the files to the device.

If you plan on doing this a lot in the future, consider installing a file manager app that will allow you to connect to Windows File Shares over your network. One of the best is AndSMB ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lysesoft.andsmb&hl=en ). It may take a few minutes to get it configured, but once you set it up you will wonder how your lived without it.
