How to: Put LARGE video onto a USB thumb drive?

I have a 1080 large video (40 minutes) that I really need to get off my computer (Laptop - Windows 7) and onto a USB thumbdrive.
Is this seriously not possible?
Please help!

Looks simple: use windows explorer, copy and paste?
But you might give more details about the problem.

If it's format is FAT, you might want to change it to NTFS to avoid the file size limit on FAT.

Guess I'm just not tech savvy enough.
I have recorded a video with my VIRB Elite.
1080 .................. 40 minutes long (i.e.- huge file size).
I go to export it from VIRB Edit and get a file size exceeded warning.
If I can just pull it from some folder it's kept on somewhere on my computer ..... great- but where is that?
Otherwise, how can I get this video to my thumbdrive without degrading the quality?
THANKS!!!!!

If you click "Export" you get a window where you can type or browse to the location where you want your video to be saved.
If you get the "size exceeded" warning than it will probably fail to export your video.
Make your video shorter or make two (or more) videos and combine them in another program.
This export failure occurs on Win7 PC's and is caused by the video-engine that is used.
(Many have asked to change this but it seems not to be on the list of thing with priority.)
The maximum video size is ±3.5GB.
The length of the video will vary as it depends on the length of your video, video size (1080p,....,480p) and how many gauges you use.
Win8 and MAC don't have this limit.

(1080p: 22min is about the limit)
