1. Opening a Folder
To create a new folder on a Windows operating system, the first step is to access the directory in which you want to create the new folder. To do this, locate and open the File Explorer by clicking on its icon in the taskbar or typing “File Explorer” in the search box at the bottom of the Start menu. You can also use the shortcut “Ctrl + E” to open File Explorer.
2. Navigating to the Desired Folder
Once the File Explorer window is open, navigate to the directory in which you want to create the new folder. This can be done by navigating the left panel of the File Explorer window, which contains a list of your drives and folders. To open a folder, simply double click on it. Alternatively, you can enter the folder name into the File Explorer address bar to open it quickly.
3. Creating a New Folder
Now that you’re in the directory you wanted to create the folder in, right click in the space of the window and select “New” from the drop-down menu. A submenu will appear with several options; select “Folder” to create a new folder. A folder with the name “New folder” should appear in the File Explorer window.
4. Naming the New Folder
Once the folder has been created, you can change its name by right-clicking on it and selecting “Rename” from the drop-down menu. You can then type in whatever name you want for the new folder.
5. Saving the New Folder
If you are happy with the name of the new folder, press “Enter” to save the changes. The new folder should now appear with the desired name in the File Explorer window.
6. Adding Files to the New Folder
You can now add files to the new folder by dragging and dropping them into the new folder. Alternatively, you can right click on a file and select “Copy” and then right click on the new folder and select “Paste”. The file should then be copied into the new folder.
7. Deleting the New Folder
When you’re done with the new folder and no longer need it, you can delete it by right-clicking on the folder and selecting “Delete” from the context menu. You can then confirm the deletion in the pop-up window that appears.
By following these simple steps, you can easily create a new folder on a Windows operating system.
