Moving files from one folder to another in Windows is a simple task that can be accomplished in a few steps.
1. Open the folder containing the files you want to move. To do this, click on the folder name in your file tree (on the left side of your screen if you have the default settings).
2. Select the files you want to move by either clicking on them one at a time while holding down the “Ctrl” key or click and drag your mouse over the files you want to select.
3. Right-click on one of the selected files, then select “Cut” from the pop-up menu that appears.
4. Navigate to the folder where you want to move the files to.
5. Right-click anywhere in the folder and select “Paste”. The files you cut will now appear in the new folder.
6. If needed, select and delete the original files in the original folder.
You can also move files from one folder to another using the “Copy and Paste” command.
1. Open the folder containing the files you want to move.
2. Select the files you want to move by either clicking on them one at a time while holding down the “Ctrl” key or click and drag your mouse over the files you want to select.
3. Right-click on one of the selected files, then select “Copy” from the pop-up menu that appears.
4. Navigate to the folder where you want to move the files to.
5. Right-click anywhere in the folder and select “Paste”. The files you copied will now appear in the new folder.
Using this method, the original files will remain in the original folder, making it easy to move multiple files between folders without having to delete any of the originals.
In addition to moving files between two folders, you can also move files to a completely different disk. To do this, you will need to use the “Cut and Paste” command.
1. Open the folder containing the files you want to move.
2. Select the files you want to move by either clicking on them one at a time while holding down the “Ctrl” key or click and drag your mouse over the files you want to select.
3. Right-click on one of the selected files, then select “Cut” from the pop-up menu that appears.
4. Navigate to the disk where you want to move the files to.
5. Right-click anywhere on the disk and select “Paste”. The files you cut will now appear in the new folder in the disk.
6. Select and delete the original files in the original folder if desired.
The same steps apply for moving files from one directory in one disk to another directory in another disk.
