To copy or move files in Windows, you will need to use the File Explorer. The File Explorer is a built-in feature of the Windows operating system, located in the Start menu.
1. To open the File Explorer, click on the Start menu icon.
2. Select File Explorer from the list of options.
3. You will be taken to the Quick access section of the File Explorer. Here, you can view all of your recent files and folders.
4. If you want to move or copy files and folders to a different location, you will need to navigate to that location. To do this, click on the folders in the left pane of the File Explorer window.
5. When you have arrived at the correct folder, select the files and/or folders that you wish to move or copy by clicking on them. You can select multiple items by holding down the Control key and clicking on each item.
6. To copy the selected items, click on the Home button at the top of the File Explorer window, then click on Copy from the toolbar.
7. You will then be prompted to select the destination folder where the items will be copied. Select this folder by clicking on it, then click on the Copy button.
Alternatively, if you wish to move the selected items instead of copying them, you can click on the Home button at the top of the File Explorer window, then click on Cut from the toolbar. You will again be prompted to select the destination folder. Select this folder, then click on the Move button.
Once the files or folders have been copied or moved, they will appear in the destination folder.
You can also copy or move files and folders from the command line. To do this, open the command prompt by typing cmd into the search bar in the Start menu.
In the command prompt, type “copy source destination” to copy a file. Replace “source” with the path of the file or folder you want to copy, and replace “destination” with the path of the destination folder.
For example, to copy a file named “example.txt” from the “Documents” folder to the “Downloads” folder, you would type “copy C:\Users\YourName\Documents\example.txt C:\Users\YourName\Downloads” and press Enter.
To move a file or folder, use the “move” command in the same way. For example, to move a file named “example.txt” from the “Documents” folder to the “Downloads” folder, you would type “move C:\Users\YourName\Documents\example.txt C:\Users\YourName\Downloads” and press Enter.
You can also copy or move multiple files and folders at once. To do this, you will need to specify each file or folder in the command. For example, to copy two files named “example.txt” and “example2.txt” from the “Documents” folder to the “Downloads” folder, you would type “copy C:\Users\YourName\Documents\example.txt C:\Users\YourName\Documents\example2.txt C:\Users\YourName\Downloads” and press Enter.
Whichever method you use, you can easily copy and move files and folders in Windows.
