Windows 10 Cant rename files or copy from external hard drive.
I am trying to copy music files from my external hard drive to my music folder and I get a message about file names too long or invalid. I have tried to shorten the names by renaming them, but it won't allow me. I would rather not shorten the songs names anyway. How can I get around this?- Cretos
