Move or Copy Files and Folders

Move or Copy Files and Folders

 

1. Navigate to the location of the original file or folder.
2. Right-click the item you want to move.
3. Choose Cut or Copy.
Cut moves the file from one location to the next. Copy makes an
identical version of the file and places it in a new location.
4. Navigate to the new location for the file or folder.
5. Right-click in the new location and chose Paste. The file
appears in the new location.
With multiple windows open (the old and new locations), you can
also click and hold the file you want to move from one folder to the
next.
Dragging and dropping items can be unpredictable. Using the rightclick menus is more precise and reliable.
