I have a new Dell desktop..loaded with Win 11 (ugh!) I have a external 1 TB multi partitioned hard drive connected using USB.. The new computer came with a 256 GB SSD (C [emoticon]

installed.. (mistake on my part).. I then installed internally another 500 GB HD in the slot provided in the new computer, formatted it and all is well and designated this drive letter H: .. When using file explorer, drive H: appears as the other external drive, or internal SSD AND I can easily access this drive and add what I want to it with no problem..BUT.. when I have a file or something that I want to send to it, I click "Send to" and every available drive connected to the computer is an option EXCEPT Drive H (the installed 500 GB HDD).. I have scoured the inet for answers to this issue to no avail.. ANY IDEAS would be appreciated..Just when I had Windows 10 figured out, 11 came along with the new machine and I am at ground zero on many issues..Have a nice day.. Thanks

Try copy and paste. May work??? I have a Windows 11 Costco Lenovo Idea Pad laptop with 475 SSD drive and thousands of photos with thousands more documents plus 1K downloads, etc and have used only 140 GB plus I have two backup 500GB external drives (light weight) and never have found a need for different partitions on the disks.

Someone will soon give you the correct advice and maybe then tell me how to speed up searches on my external HD drives that are not even close to been full. Good luck.

Everything.exe is a VERY good program to search you HD. I have it on Win10. I think it works with Win 11.

I only use "send to" for blueTooth. I use move or copy for all other HD

Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

We're getting a new Dell laptop as soon as we get home in 3 weeks.

W11, 500GB SSD.

Is "send to" a new feature of W11? I've always used copy / paste for other W dot X OS'es.

Dumb question, but are you sure the file you're trying to "send" to drive H: isn't already on drive H [emoticon]

Not new feature..use it on Win 10 all thr time.. I can copy / past to "H" but drive "H" is the only one not available when using Send To option..

The Copy/Paste procedure is a bit tedious when compared to the Copy to Folder/ Move to Folder alternative. These choices don't appear on the context menu, but can be easily added with a registry modification. For information on how to do this, go to the following link:

Copy /Move

The "Copy To" option copies the information to the new location and leaves the original intact, while "Move To" deletes it from the original location.
