File explorer works just fine or powershell via the new terminal app works perfect too.

For Linux systems I’ve flipped all over the place, so I don’t really have a preference. Aesthetics and themed explorers are nice but at the EOTD I only use them for dragging convenience and easy access to folders that I keep in some sort of organized manner.

The Files app for Windows is pretty good. Last time I used it regularly, it wasn’t a simple process to make it the default. Maybe that’s changed…
