  1. A little confused about drives.


    I recently got a new laptop. Something I noticed was that my new laptop has less drives than the drives on old laptop. Is it supposed to be like this? Why does my new laptop only has local disk C, while my old laptop has DVD drive E, Recovery D, local disk C and an F drive? Why does my old laptop has so many drives and why not my new laptop?Can you please tell me what these different drives mean? I don’t know what any of the drives are.Any help is highly appreciated!

    :)

    A little help please?!

    Okay, I'm still a little confused! Do I move it to the card after it's saved to my computer? Can you give me a step by step from downloading it from the website to getting it to the phone! Thanks!
