Yes it is important to safely remove devices when you are given the option to do so. You can safely remove a device by accessing the computer window or your system tray. I personally like to access this by going to the computer window by pressing windows key plus the E key. You can then press the applications key or shift plus at 10 and hit J for eject or simply arrow down.
