these kind of videos are the only thing that actually helps me figure it out in less than 5 minutes, every website never simplifies it so much. I didn't even know you could drag with the right mouse button, thank you!!

Thanks. So much work. Geez, if only they didn't get rid of the "copy to folder" option we already had in past windows in the first place. *rolls eyes.

Excellent, thanks so much! I've discovered workarounds for this, but your directions are much better!

Just give me back the move button and the old classic ribbon. This is ridiculous

Very few videos are available on such rare topics. Thanks for realizing this fact and making this video. Good job done. Very simple way of explaining. In future also, please keep language simple and easy. Best thing is you do not unnecessarily move the cursor, it remains at the location you are explaining. Congratulations for adhering to basic tenets of teaching.

Thanks for the tutorial matey. I am trying to pour out the love for Windows 11 but it is difficult :) I was quite happy right clicking on a folder and having the "move" option there in the dialogue box as per Windows 10 Why did M/S have to change that?

what a complicated mess. You used to be able to just click on Copy or Move and bingo, all done. Some things about Windows 11 really suck

so yet again one lose against windows 10. the move to on windows 10 just took one click if destination was the same folder

There is a need for Windows 11 instruction such as this but with instructors who can speak clear English without an accent, which in this vid are by an Indian speaker. I cannot grasp the content while trying to get through the accent. It is also important to have people who understand teaching techniques for clarity, and slowing down so that everything is done in 5 minutes.
