Class 6.07: Moving Files to a Flash Drive

Files and folders can be moved to a flash drive just like moving files and folders on your computer!

To move a file to a flash drive, use one of the following methods (you might recall them from Class 3: Windows!).

Note: In most cases, files and folders are copied when transferred to a flash drive. A copy remains on the computer. The exception is when files are cut (see below).

Cut, Copy, and Paste

1. Select the file or folder to be moved.
2. To Copy a file: Click on the file or folder you wish to copy. Click on the Home tab and click on the Copy icon.
3. To Cut a file: Click on the file or folder you wish to copy. Click on the Home tab and then click on the Cut icon.
4. Navigate to the flash drive and then click on the Home tab and then click on the Paste icon.
5. If you feel comfortable you can use the short cut keys Ctrl-C to Copy or Ctrl-X to Cut and Ctrl-V to Paste.
