How To Move Documents, Downloads, Desktop, To Another Drive On Windows 11 [Guide]
Working on any PC means you will be downloading and saving files in different folders. One such important folder is the Document folder which is one of the default folders in a Windows PC. This default folder (Documents folder) is located in the C drive of your system.
