best way to move files between two harddrives on the same computer?

Question

I only want to move certain files

Answer 1

Safe & easy way: Use Windows Explorer.
Right-click on the file you want to move to get the menu, and left-click copy.
Go to the place you want the file to be, right-click inside that folder to get the menu, then left-click paste.
When you're sure everything is the way you want it, you can go back to the original location of the files and delete them.
If everything is still working right the next time you start up your coputer, empty your Recycle Bin.
Yes, there are some extra precautionary steps in this method, but sometimes moving files causes unexpected problems, and this method gives you a easy way to reverse any changes that cause such problems.

Answer 2

Explorer, as mentioned is about it. Perhaps you might want to do a search (find) to find files of certain types, date ranges, or names and then drag and drop them.

If the drives are about the same size, and you have a lot of files that you want to move, you can copy everything and delete what you DON'T want later after it's working.

Answer 3

Open my computer and open both drives and identify the files you want to transfer or move and click and hold down on the file you want to move and slide it to the file on the other hard drive and then drop it there. Or right click on the file you want to move and choose copy and then go to the other drive and right click and paste it where you want it. Or use a backup program to move it where you want it to be.

Answer 4

Open two windows, one on each harddrive at the location of the files you want to move and the destination location, and drag and drop.

Answer 5

it will ask u where u want to move it

your drives should be numbered or have different initials
e.g. local disk (c) first drive
second drive (f)
