1. Open two windows, one for the original files and a second for their destination.
2. Select all the files at once, and Windows will group them into a single transfer.
3. Transfer each folder separately. However, they are still grouped into a single window but the progress of each transfer is displayed individually. Note that this is very different from previous versions of Windows where each transfer would be displayed in a separate window.
4. You can know more about the transfer, such as the speed of the transfer, number of items remaining and estimated time to completion by clicking on the More Details option on the bottom left of the transfer window.
5. If the file transfers are going slowly, and it is important that one transfer be completed more quickly than the others, then you can simply click on the pause buttons of the less important transfers to give more bandwidth to the one I want.
6. Windows 8 has vastly improved file conflict resolution (what to do if files of the same name already exist in the target folder). You can choose between Replacing the files, Skipping them, or deciding on a case by case basis.
7. The conflict resolution window is a powerful new tool which allows usrers to easily examine each file to determine which ones you want to keep. As you can see, file transfer in Windows 8 is simple but powerful, giving you control to perform the most important tasks with minimum fuss.
