What happened to the "Copy To" option in Windows 11 File Explorer?

I can't believe that Microsoft removed the "Copy To" and "Move To" options in Windows 11 File Explorer! I used these options often! Unless I'm missing something, Microsoft just heavy handedly removed these options!

I'm just saying as a non-tach user (I'm just an office worker working remotely), having to change the registry and all is just too much, and I thought I'd provide an alternative to people like me, that's all. -

Why did they remove something I use EVERY Time I'm on the computer? Hate drag & drop, another possible (I've not tried it) solution.

That's nice, but not what I wanted. I've reverted to Windows 10 File Explorer since Microsoft botched Windows 11 File Explorer. It is absolutely unbelievable the narrow mindedness coming out of Microsoft! If you've never seen the movie "Idiocracy" you should watch it, because that is the direction this country is headed in!
