    Very old files slow down my laptop
    « 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.
