    By far the best instructional computer video I've come across, which guides us slowly and clearly through the subject in hand. The web is full of useless 'help' vids where the instructor races through things far too fast. Thank you!

    Is there a difference between sending a file to another drive and copying a file to another drive? Does the quality of the files change depending on which method you use?

    • @cwtek1
      @cwtek1  Рік тому +1

      There is no difference and the quality does not change because the transfer is digital.

    After you done this, and put it into a different PC does it transfer like that?

      Yes, just do the reverse copy from the USB to the computer.

  • @IAM-k3q
    @IAM-k3q 3 місяці тому

    Very Informative. What would the difference be if you copy and paste a folder or file from the PC to the external hard drive instead of using the "send to" method?
