                 We know that when we use a computer, we're primarily working with data. Everything we save,
                 such as documents, songs, images, presentations, or spreadsheets, is stored as files. We can
                 group different files based on types or categories together. Data on a computer is organised
                 into files and folders.

                 File Explorer is a tool that helps us manage and organise files and folders. In this chapter,
                 we will learn how to copy and move files between devices and folders.
                     COPYING OR MOVING FILES/FOLDERS


                 Copying files or folders create backups, allows sharing without altering the original, and helps in
                 managing them. Moving files helps in reorganising data, freeing up storage space, and improving
                 system efficiency. Both actions are essential for effective data management. Let us now learn
                 how to copy/move file/folder from different location/device to another.
                 Copying from One Drive to Another Drive
                                                                                     2  Click on the All apps button.
                 The hard disk of a computer is divided into sections called
                 partitions,  which  help  us  organise  and  access  files  and
                 folders more easily. These partitions are known as drives
                 and are usually represented by letters like C: Drive, D: Drive,

                 E: Drive, F: Drive, and so on. The hard disk is located inside
                 the CPU box/cabinet. When you copy a file or folder, the
                 original stays in its place, and a duplicate is created
                 To copy a file or folder from one drive to another, follow

                 these steps:
                                                                 1  Click on the
