                             Different File Formats



                 We have learnt that whatever we do on a computer, we are basically working with data. Whatever
                 we save on the computer, like documents, songs, images, presentations or excel sheets, all are
                 files. All the files that belong to the same category can be grouped or saved together in a folder.
                 Data on a computer can be arranged in the form of files or folders. This saves time and prevents
                 errors later on.
                 If you won't organise your data then your hard drive would be stuffed with downloads, unwanted
                 photos, file copies, and other stuff.

                 File Explorer helps us to organise and manage files and folders. In this chapter, we will learn
                 about copying and moving files from one device to another or one folder to another folder.

                  i +   COPYING OR MOVING FILES/FOLDERS

                 Let us now learn how to copy/move file/folder from different location/device to another.

                 Copying from One Drive to Another Drive

                 The  hard  disk  of  a  computer  is
                 divided into smaller parts known
                 as partitions which make it easier                                                  3  Click on File
                 for us to access files and folders.                                                 Explorer.
                 These partitions are called drives.
                 All  these  drives  are  usually
