Different File Formats
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.

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
