Windows 10: Transferring files to external HD

I just bought a WD easystore 2tb external hard drive, I also have an old HP slim line s5-1414 PC that is running windows 10. when I transfer a file from the PC to the external hard drive the file still appears on the PC. I’m trying to save space on the computer. I’m transferring pictures & videos that I don’t need in the computer, to the external har drive. Do I have to manually delete these files from the computer once I transfer them? They only copy when I drag & drop, when i click on the move to option they also only copy. Thank you all for your time.

File transfer on external HD problem

Hello,

I had a weird problem, not sure if I did something wrong. I was the not so happy owner of an Aspire R3-131T running on Windows 10 after the MacBook I used crashed. I worked on this PC for about a year, before
moving back to a 2017 MacBook Pro with Sierra 10.12.6. I plugged in a WD Elements 1 To external HD in order to transfer important files from my PC to my Mac (it was faster than through the WiFi). All seemed to work finely until today, as I plugged my extrernal
HD in my MacBook in order to check the files I saved. It was the first time I did that, and it happened about a month after the transfer. The folder where I put them did not appear on the HD, and after a few minutes, I found it in the trash folder, unfortunately
empty... Can someone tell me what happened and if I have any chance to get my files back, knowing that I don't have the Acer notebook anymore ?

I know I should have double checked my HD and waited a while before giving my Acer away... But I just want to understand what happened.

I also tried to transfer files through the cloud, using Drive, but the files I moved to Drive where also put into the trash folder. And I'm pretty sure that I didn't do that. Fortunately, I was able to restore them.

Thank you,

Jean-Marie Bolay

 

Transfer files from external harddrive to MS 10

Just set up my new HP with Windows 10. I transferred files from my old PC Windows 7 to an external HD using easy transfer tool. Windows 10 does not have an easy transfer tool, so how do I upload my files, and pictures, etc. from an external HD into Windows
10?

Thank you.
