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.
