Windows 10: Copying File Folders Betweeen USB Drives: How Safe in Windows 10 File Explorer?

My Seagate external USB HDD is a few years old so it's time to back up my data to my new Seagate USB SSD.I had earlier tried sharing files between USB flash drives in Windows 7 File Explorer but got errors.Did those errors happen because flash drive technology is different than HDD and SSD storage, even though all were USB interfaced and/or because Windows 7 vs. Windows 10? In any case, I do NOT want to risk corrupting my files if sharing files between USB drives is not safe. Please advise.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
