I lost my address book on my laptop after resetting Windows 10. I have all my address books on another computer. When I try to export to a thumb drive I don't know what file type to select. i.e. Ldif, deliminted, etc. Don't know what these mean. thanks all

What do you plan on using it for? The ldif imports the easiest back into Thunderbird. A .CSV file is able to be opened in Excel for editing or other functions. It can also be imported to Thunderbird.
