How do you save a folder in a folder?

In any Windows, first, you have to create a new folder. So, go to where you want to save your first folder (the one that will hold the other folder inside it). Then, right-mouse-click, and click 'create new folder'. A folder will pop up, and name that folder. Then, after naming that folder, double-click on it to go inside the folder. There will be nothing there, since it is a new folder. Then, right-mouse-click inside the emtpy space, and click on 'create new folder'. Name that folder, and then you just saved a folder within a folder.
