Move files from one document library to another document library in SharePoint Server 2010

I have created two document libraries named as Source Library and Destination Library, now we have a requirement- How to transfer the documents from one library to another.
Please follow the below mentioned steps and let me know in case of any issues:
1-Open two document libraries in separate browsers/internet explorers
2-Click on LIBRARY on the top for both the document libraries
3-Select "Open with Explorer" for both the document libraries


4-this will open up a new window in which you can see you documents
5-now simply copy it and paste it in the destination document library
Note: It will take some time to transfer depending upon the size of the documents
If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know.
I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you
