Windows 11 Experts?

I have a new Dell desktop..loaded with Win 11 (ugh!) I have a external 1 TB multi partitioned hard drive connected using USB.. The new computer came with a 256 GB SSD (C:) installed.. (mistake on my part).. I then installed internally another 500 GB HD in the slot provided in the new computer, formatted it and all is well and designated this drive letter H: .. When using file explorer, drive H: appears as the other external drive, or internal SSD AND I can easily access this drive and add what I want to it with no problem..BUT.. when I have a file or something that I want to send to it, I click "Send to" and every available drive connected to the computer is an option EXCEPT Drive H (the installed 500 GB HDD).. I have scoured the inet for answers to this issue to no avail.. ANY IDEAS would be appreciated..Just when I had Windows 10 figured out, 11 came along with the new machine and I am at ground zero on many issues..Have a nice day.. Thanks
  • Try copy and paste. May work??? I have a Windows 11 Costco Lenovo Idea Pad laptop with 475 SSD drive and thousands of photos with thousands more documents plus 1K downloads, etc and have used only 140 GB plus I have two backup 500GB external drives (light weight) and never have found a need for different partitions on the disks.

    Someone will soon give you the correct advice and maybe then tell me how to speed up searches on my external HD drives that are not even close to been full. Good luck.
