To move a file to another folder in Windows, you must use File Explorer. File Explorer is a tool available in all versions of Windows that allows users to browse and access the files and folders stored on their computer.
To start, open File Explorer by clicking the Start Menu, or by pressing the Windows key + E. This will open the File Explorer window, which will display the layout of your computer’s directories.
Once in File Explorer, the first thing to do is to locate the file you want to move to another folder. Navigate to the folder in which the file is located by using the left pane and double-clicking the folder names that appear.
Once you have found the file, you can then select it by single-clicking its name or icon. Now that the file is selected, you can begin to move it. To do this, click and drag the file to the new location.
If the new folder is not in the same directory as the old one, you can navigate to the new location by using the left pane. When you have arrived at the new location, drop the file by releasing the left mouse button. The file should now be moved to the new folder.
Alternatively, you can move a file to a different folder by right-clicking the file and selecting the “Cut” command. This removes the file from its original location and places it into your clipboard. Next, navigate to the destination folder and press Ctrl+V or right-click and select “Paste” to transfer the file to the new folder.
In addition to moving files on the local computer, you can also move a file to a different folder in Windows using remote sharing. This is beneficial if you want to share a file with someone else over the Internet or access a file from another device. To use remote sharing, open File Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the file you want to move. Then, right-click the file, select “Share with”, and choose the sharing method you wish to use. You will then be prompted to enter the address of the destination folder where you would like to move the file to.
Finally, if you only want to copy a file instead of moving it, you can use the same steps above but select the “Copy” command instead. This will create a duplicate of the selected file in the new folder.
In summary, moving a file to another folder in Windows requires the use of File Explorer. First, open File Explorer and locate the file to be moved. Then, either click and drag the file to the new folder or use the “Cut” and “Paste” commands to transfer the file. Alternatively, you can use remote sharing to move files over the Internet. If you need to copy the file instead of moving it, simply use the “Copy” command instead.
