    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!

    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.

    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?

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