VIDEO – What is the difference between “Save” and “Save as” when saving a file?

When I made this video I had no idea how popular it would become. Most computer users presume that newbie’s will automatically understand the difference between save and save as. But this is not true. Every , application or software program has a save and save as option. This is why it has become important to know the clear difference between the two.

The danger is if you do not know the difference then you could possibly save over the top of an important document. A click of a button is all it takes..
