  1. HI. Moving files on my laptop


    I need to free up space in my C drive so windows can install updates. I have purchased a SD card and installed it and is the E drive.

    But I do not know how to move files from the C drive to the E drive.

  3. not a copy and move any file USB to laptop

    Hello Jay,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please provide some additional information, so that we can assist you better.

    1. Are you unable to copy or move files from USB drive to laptop?
    2. What is the complete error message you see on your computer incase if you’re trying to move files?
    3. Were there any changes made on your computer prior to this issues?
    4. What is the make and model number of USB and computer?
    5. Is the USB drive detected in Windows PC?

    However, if you’re referring to transferring files from USB to laptop, follow the steps as mentioned below.

    1. Insert your USB device into your computer.
    2. Open ‘Windows Explorer’ and select 'This PC'.
    3. You should see your USB device represented as a drive letter (e.g.: D: or E: etc.)
    4. Locate your USB device and double click it to
      view the contents.
    5. If your photos are organized into folders already, and/or you can see the
      folders or files you want, proceed to the next step. If your photos are not organized or the photos are visible, you will need to browse the folders until you find them.
    6. Once you can see your
      files, photos or folders
      select everything by clicking on the 'Home' tab in Windows Explorer and selecting the 'Select All'
      option.
    7. With everything you want to import selected all the files, then click the 'Home' tab in Windows Explorer and select either
      'Move to' or 'Copy’.
    8. Select a destination folder in the list or select the
      'Choose location' option at the bottom and navigate to where you want to move or copy the images to.
    9. Wait for the move or copy process to finish.


    Hope it helps.

    HI. Moving files on my laptop

    FAST - Laptop to PC

    Can FAST (File and Settings Transfer Wizard) be used to migrate files from a Laptop to a PC? I have this friend who needs his E-mail, Client database, etc. moved from his Laptop to a PC. Can someone tell me how easy this is to do with FAST and what the steps I should take to perform this procedure? Thanks.

    If FAST can't be used can someone recommend a free Transfer Wizard? I guess I could manually do it, but I don't want to mess up and have him blaming me for god know how long.
