Where/How do I save in my new Win10 laptop backed-up files & from Win7
I'm secretary of a local sports club and I've always saved my files using layers of sub-folders, something that XP and Win7 allowed me to do. Not so Win 10 - when I saved and then copied into Win10, most of the folders were either lost, screwed up or dumped all over the place.
Here's how I did it in Win7: (Obviously there are more folders at the top level and many more sub-folders underneath.)
My solution is to rename every sub-folder that only had a date so that eg under Agendas are now "Agenda 2015" & "Agenda 2016". This should work but the other problem I had is that some of what I saved went into This PC and others were 'taken over' by OneDrive, and I've no idea how/why.
I posted in the Microsoft Community as that seemed the sensible thing to do. One helpful insider suggested that I'd booted into the Start Screen [which doesn't allow folder hierarchies] instead of into the desktop and asked if I'd activated tablet mode (which I hadn't). But I want to end up with Folders in Documents. Another thought I'd not got used to W10's File Explore (which I haven't) and a third was a grumpy goat, picking holes. Horrid man.
At the moment I'm having to save everything to my desktop - that goes against everything I've been taught and I'm running out of space.
Would someone please treat me as a complete idiot (which I'm beginning to think I am) and tell me precisely what I should do next? Insert memory stick, open 'This PC', then what please?
PS Someone suggested creating a network for the two PCs and simply drag the stuff across.
