                             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, 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.


                  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
                 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
                                                                                                     3  Click on File
