Question: my local disk is nearly full but I have a new 1TB external hard disk. Therefore, I want to transfer everything to external disk so as to free up the local disk space. Someone on the internet suggested copying the entire disk to new disk rather than copying files one by one, but I really have no idea of how to copy local disk to external hard drive.
