      After we send the files from one place to another for example from my internal storage space in my laptop to an external hard drive can I then delete the original files from my directory? Please let me know as I dont see the point of having the same files again

    Thanks for posting this. I plan on buying an external HD. I'm getting warnings now that my internal drive is maxing out. I was wondering what the transfer process was. You explained it perfectly.

    Perfectly simple and still works in 2022 because Windows core functions have not actually changed since 1998. Except for icons and toys!

    Amazing! You provided a simple explanation for a process that is so . . . simple - while other contributors want to dazzle viewers with their use of tech terms or a mind-bending lecture on digital technology. Thank you for having the genius to explain something that is so simple, in a way that does not make it sound difficult.

      @@marco7838 I believe you can delete the files so you can save storage on your internal. However, if the drive gets corrupted or damaged in the future then it will be lost forever since that's the only copy you have. If the files are too important, I advise that you don't delete it so you still have it on different locations, just in case. :)))

    So I am kind of curious because I ran into an issue recently were my main storage on my PC does not have enough space on it to install an update for my GPU drivers. Could I possibly shift all my GPU driver installation folders to an external hard drive that is connected to my PC without issue or would it cause my GPU to be nonfunctional if I shifted it?

    • @subterraneansecret
      @subterraneansecret  ปีที่แล้ว

      If a device isn't automatically detected, you can usually find it through the "file explorer". Sometimes this is located on the bottom taskbar. If not click on the Windows icon, and type in "file explorer" into the search box, and once it opens, on the left hand side, you should see all your folders and devices listed.
