To move files using Explorer’s file paths, use the breadcrumb navigation of the Explorer in the address bar. Breadcrumbs is a design pattern for the layout of a graphical user interface. It’s normally a line of text that indicates where you are in a branched folder structure.

Explorer displays this information at the top under the address bar. An entry such as This PC – Win11 (C:) – Windows – System32, for example, tells you that you are currently in the System32 folder, a subfolder of Windows on the C: drive in This PC.

This line contains four breadcrumbs. You can now easily move a file from System32 to the Windows folder by dragging the file onto this breadcrumb with the mouse. To copy the file, press the Ctrl key.
