If your files are located on the desktop, you should only open a window for the location where you want to move the files. If you are using a Mac, after you open the first window, go to the File menu at the top and select the option to open a new Finder window. If you are using Windows, you can simply minimize the first window and access the Start menu again to find the second window.
Your files should be highlighted in blue to show they are selected and ready to drag.
If your files stop being highlighted at any time, you will need to repeat the drag and drop. If you repeat this process but drag the files to a different drive, such as a removable hard drive, CD or zip drive, the files will not move, they will be copied. [1] X Research source
