                  We have learnt that whatever we do on a computer, we are working with data. Whatever we save
                  on the computer, like documents, songs, images, presentations or excel sheets, are all called
                  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.
                  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.

                       COPYING FILES/FOLDERS FROM ONE DRIVE TO
                      ANOTHER DRIVE

                  Copy files and folders from one drive to another on a computer. This is an important skill because it
                  helps you organise your data and make backups. A drive is like a storage box inside your computer
                  where all your files and folders are kept. The hard disk of a computer is divided into smaller parts
                  known as partitions which make it easier for us to access files and folders. These partitions are called
                  drives. All these drives are usually represented by different letters, like
                  C: Drive, D: Drive, F: Drive, H: Drive and so on. A computer hard disk is
                  found inside the CPU box. When we copy a file or folder, the original file
                  or folder remains at the original location and a duplicate of it is created
                  to a new location. We need to perform the following steps to copy any
                  file or folder from one drive to another drive:

                  Step 1  Open the File Explorer by clicking Start   Windows System
                             File Explorer.
                          The File Explorer window appears.
                                                                                                Opening File Explorer
                  Step 2  In the left pane, click on the drive in which your file/folder is located.
