How to Transfer Files From C: Drive to F: Drive

The C: drive is typically the main drive of your computer. The F: drive can be another primary drive, a secondary drive or even a removable drive. Transferring files in the office allows you to make backup copies of important documents, move files between computers and ensure the safety of your data. If the F: drive is a USB drive, the file will be copied to the drive; if it's a separate hard drive, however, the file will may simply move to the F: drive and cease to exist on the C: drive.

Click the Start menu and choose "Computer."

Double-click on the "C: Drive" and locate the file you want to transfer. If it's in a subfolder on the C: drive, you must open that folder to find it.

Click the Start menu and choose "Computer" again. You must have both drives open in separate windows to transfer files with the drag and drop method.

Double-click on the "F: Drive" and open the folder where you want to store the file.

Drag the file or files from the C: drive to the F: drive and drop them in the correct location.
