    Windows 11 is not user friendly it seems so counterintuitive, I don't know what I would do if not for these wonderful instructional videos on TH-cam

    Hi Chris, Your video is the first to show clearly what to do & I would like to thankyou. Are you running Windows Home or Pro? I have the latter preinstalled & do not share your file setup. For example there are no files beneath 'My PC' such as Documents for example, there is only some of these in Quick Access. I downloaded Powershell 7 (x64) as the computer asked me to do this when I attempted your procedure. This helped me finally transfer a file onto a stick!

    you know if u copy the folders to the USB and deleted them from the computer does it delete from the USB aswell?

    • @cwtek1
      @cwtek1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you copy then it will make a copy of the file leaving the original on the computer, if you move the file then it will remove it from the computer.

      Yes free file sync is good at doing that.

      Just the same go to This PC, find your USB Drive and then do exactly the same as described in this video. You can copy files to any folder (Documents, Pictures or Desktop) you can also see this video th-cam.com/video/Dbuc7yXzliE/w-d-xo.html it refers to Windows 10 but the same principle

      You can cut and paste the files but I prefer to copy them then make sure they have copied over correctly before deleting from my computer.

    Not sure if this is on topic, but I just bought a new computer, and have about 8,000 songs on my old Windows 7 computer. I have Windows 11 now, and I copied all the files onto an old HDD, and now a new SSD drive because the old HDD drive was giving me too many sector errors. But the SSD drive worked fine, copied all the songs in one folder, but I noticed the file size was off, but the data (each song was there on the SSD drive). Why does this happen?

    • @cwtek1
      @cwtek1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think there must be a difference in cluster size between the drives that would give different file sizes.

    I just get an error for every file that's in the "copying" folder so it is essentially useless. It says the name is the same from destination to drop. Any tips?

    `Send to' is ambiguous, and should be `copy to' - fault is with windows 11. I wondered whether I was going to lose my Original!

      @cwtek1  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It should be copy to really send to is misleading as you say.
