                                    Using Multiple Applications                Different File Formats


                 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
                                                                                               2  Scroll down and
                 to another on a computer. This is an                                         click on File Explorer.
                 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   1  Click on Start button.
                 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.
