You computer only knows this is device it has never seen before and you have to tell it what to do. My windows vista asks to format or open memory cards as folders and other things. You could associate it with Calibre desktop book management program (free) you have installed, Kobo desktop program or something else. I don't like to have box checked to always do something except maybe open to explore folders is safe but do not format internal or removable SD cards in the KOBO which will delete everything.

IF I open my computer at start menu it will display all of the hard drives, devises = (Kobo) and SD cards attached to the computer. You can open each of these and explore what is there. Just looking is safe. if you right click on the Kobo device then select safely remove or eject or do this at bottom right of task bar at bottom of screen then you can safely remove the Kobo. Calibre and Kobo desktop programs can also eject the kobo reader.
