Title: Very old files slow down my laptop
Post by: Abdallah ahmed on July 21, 2017, 05:05:40 AM

Greetings :)

I have a very old videos and photos from years ago , Every time O try to open these files my laptop becomes very slow plus I can't even copy or move them to other places ( actually copying or moving then is available but in a very slow way almost 20 kb/sec and itsn't ever a real ratio in real there is no movement in the mbs )
Even when I'm trying to cancel the move process I can't it remains a canceling window . They are virus free  ( I have avast ) .

Is there any way to open those files and copy them normally? Without damaging them ?

Thanks

You could copy them to an external or USB drive or you could burn them to a DVD.
