    Change left mouse button from copy to move


    Hi,I've just got a new Windows 11 PC. With my old Windows 10 PC, when I held down the left mouse button onto a file or folder I was able to drag and drop it to a new location. With this new PC when I try that it wants to copy it to a new location and leave the original where it is. How do I get back to just drag and drop please?

    :)
