file copying

The file copying tag on WindowsForum.com collects practical discussion about moving data on Windows, including when built-in tools outperform the familiar File Explorer drag-and-drop. A representative thread benchmarks Robocopy against File Explorer on Windows 11 for copying many small files, noting that gains are often modest and that some command-line switches can slow a transfer or cause problems. The focus is on safe, realistic expectations rather than magic settings, covering scenarios such as copying hundreds of megabytes of tiny files versus large archives, and how storage hardware like NVMe SSDs affects the outcome.
