Windows 11: Fast file transfer between PCs over the network with Robocopy
When you need to copy files to another drive in Windows 10, you usually use the standard Select, Copy, and Paste operation. Although this works fine, speed becomes a bottleneck because transferring many files can take a long time.
As an alternative, many savvy users use Robocopy (Robust File Copy), a command-line tool built into Windows 10 that offers more features to quickly move data to another location (over the network to another drive or another computer). One feature that makes Robocopy special (and is often overlooked) is its multi-threaded capability, which allows it to copy multiple files at once, rather than one file at a time using File Explorer's copy function.
This guide will show you how to use Robocopy's multi-threaded copy feature to speed up the process of transferring files and folders to another drive on Windows 10.
