Best Answer

Yes. If you are using either Windows or a Mac OS, it should just be a matter of dragging the picture (or any other file) from the external drive to the appropriate folder in your internal drive.

With Windows, if you drag-and-drop, the file will be copied; it will reside in both places. If you want to MOVE it, press and hold the right (or alternate) mouse button and drag it; the system will offer you choices to copy or move.
