    Try unplugging it from the computer and plugging it back in on another port. Also, make sure the device is unlocked and you have made sure it can download from unknown sources, and have the computer set in MTP mode as a trusted device.

    It shouldn't, but backing up your device is recommended. I recommend using Titanium Backup, which you can get from the Google Play Store for free.

    Make sure that you have all the drivers installed on the PC. If not, search your device model on internet and the word "drivers". Also, if you don't found them, you could install "ADB Drivers". This should work.
