Transferring music from Windows Media Player to USB Stick

I am really hoping that someone can assist me with this, which should be very straightforward but is a nightmare.

I have all my music on Windows Media Player and all is fine with all the album art and everything showing fine, but the problem area is transferring the music to a USB Stick. Once you transfer the music to the USB Stick the album art details do not show up, but did when I had a program called Nokia Music installed, this has a facility to update files and then magically after this, when transferring my music from Windows Media Player to USB the album art was all there.

Sadly, now I have upgraded to Windows 10 Nokia Music will not install, so I am left with 2 options:

1). Buy a cheap old Laptop with Windows 7 or 8 installed and then install Nokia Music but why should I have to do this.

2). Hope that someone on the community can come up with a solution to this problem. I have looked extensively on the internet but am getting nowhere. There would surely be a lot of people who would love this resolved. Maybe Microsoft can come up with a fix so that the music on the Music folder in Windows 10 will copy everything including album art to USB.

Here's hoping and praying!!!!!
