I lost a document. I recovered it in my back up drive. I then dragged the document to my C drive and then opened it. It was in ‘read only mode’. How do I save this document after doing an edit. Presently it will not let me save it.
Copied would be better. Don’t potentially damage your only backup.
Click File > Save as
Windows has no single root / but multiple drives. If you drag a file to another drive it will be copied. On the same drive it is moved.

As @clayton1 wrote “recovered it in my back up drive” I guess he found and copied the file.

In my defence, I have just had to solder two new micro switches (this time 80 M clicks) to my mouse because it started dropping files and picking up other ones while the button was pressed down all the time. This has led to a deep mistrust of dragging files anywhere 
Thanks for the reply’s!
