Windows 10: Highlight and copy !

In my Music folder I have about 30 tracks listed which I would like to copy and paste. If I press Ctrl and A they are all highlighted ready to copy etc. The problem is there are some tracks that I don't want to be highlighted. Is it possible to highlight just the ones I want ? I guess this would apply to any text document etc. At present I am highlighting just one at a time which is a painstaking task ! I seem to think it can be done but I have forgot how !!Brian

How to copy only the highlighted sections of a docment?

• Highlight the sections you want to copy.
• Press CTRL+C (the CTRL key and the C key, at the same time.)
• Move the mouse cursor to where you want to paste what you have copied, and click on an empty space.
• Press CTRL+V (the CTRL key and the V key, at the same time.)
