How to copy a file to another destination in the computer system

Copying a file or an item in the computer system means replicating or making additional copies of the original file(s).

How to copy file(s)

1. Right-click on the file; for example, the file is located on the user’s flash drive or an external drive.
2. From the pop-up menu, select and click on the copy command
3. Move the pointer to a new destination, where you want to paste the file, for example, on the computer’s desktop.
4. Right-click on an empty space on the desktop
5. From the pop-up menu, click on Paste

The file would be copied to the new location. Note that a user can copy and paste the same file numerous times.

NOTE:

The above command can also be applied by a user when copying a folder or any other item in the computer system to another folder or new destination. For example, when a user wants to copy a folder from the computer desktop to the main drive C, or the hard disk.
