When you copy a file or folder in Windows 10, a duplicate is made of the selected item and saved in a destination folder of your choosing. However, when you move a file or folder, the original item moves to the destination folder instead of sending an identical copy.

One of the most common methods to copy or move a file or folder is to drag and drop it into the destination folder. By default—depending on the location of the destination folder—File Explorer might move it instead of copying it, or vice versa. When dragging files from one folder to another, you can use either the pane on the left or open another instance of File Explorer to navigate to the destination folder.

Windows has two default actions when you drag and drop a file or folder into a new destination: copy or move. Copying happens when you drop the file or folder into a directory on a different drive. To copy files over to a different drive, highlight the file s you want to copy, click and drag them over to the second window, and then drop them.

Before you drop them, though, press Ctrl to trigger the Copy mode. To move files to a different directory on the same drive, highlight the file s you want to move, click and drag them over to the second window, and then drop them. If the destination folder is on a different drive, click and drag them over to the second window just like before, but this time press Shift to trigger the Move mode.

When you right-click a file or folder, Windows has a couple of hidden context menu functions that let you add two options: Copy to or Move to. Adding these two functions to the context menu gives you a way to either copy or move items in just a few clicks.

One of the fastest ways to open a Command Prompt in the desired directory is from File Explorer. First, open File Explorer and navigate to the destination. The quotes in the command are only important when the file name or folder contains spaces.

You can also use the copy command to duplicate multiple files at the same time. Just separate each file with a comma, and then specify the destination folder as you normally would. Just as with copying, the quotes in the command are only important when the file name or folder contains spaces.

However, if you try to move multiple files, as we did with the copy command, Command Prompt will throw a syntax error. There are a couple of other ways to move more than one item at a time using Command Prompt without throwing an error. Each method makes use of a wildcard character to move multiple files within one instruction. Originally posted by KravenMoorhead :. Last edited by tiemo94 ; 24 Dec, pm.
