Setting up a directory and moving a file into that directory from

I have some files provided me on a CD - I have been told to select two files
from the CD and move to a Directory, which I have established and named.
I need to know how to setup (or establish) a directory- Name it - and move
these files into it

Go to your user account and open up your Documents or make a new folder,
whatever you think best. Name the new folder something useful having to
do with the CD's files. Now double-click that new folder to get into it.
Put the CD in your drive and when the autoplay prompt happens choose
"Open folder". Or just double-click the CD in Computer. Find the files
you want to put into the new folder you made. Select one of them by
right-clicking on it and while still holding down the right mouse
button, drag that file into the new folder. Release the right mouse
button and a menu will appear. Left-click on "Copy". Repeat as desired.

Go to Windows Explorer. Right click on any drive letter or existing
folder. Select New, then Folder. You'll see a new folder appear.
Select it, so it is highlighted. Right click, then select rename then
type in any name you want to give it.
