Copy Single File to Destination Folder if Exist else Copy to Another Folder

Question

I am trying to copy a file from one location to another. There are two possible source destinations on the computer I would like the script to check if the folder exists (i.e. -eq 'True') if doesn't exist then move the file to the older folder. I know on the computer that one or the other folder exists. For example, I want to copy an INI file (file.ini) located in C:\File\ to either C:\Temp\F1 or C:\Temp\F2 (NOTE this is not the actual file or folder just using them as an example) replacing the existing file that is already in that folder. In my example, I am copying to a blank folder as I assume the file will just be overwritten at the destination.

I know I can achieve this as simply as:

If (Test-Path “C:\Temp\F1”) 
    {Copy-Item “C:\File\file.ini” “C:\Temp\F1” –Force
}
ElseIf (Test-Path “C:\Temp\F2”) 
        {Copy-Item “C:\File\file.ini” “C:\Temp\F2” –Force
}

As soon as I start to include some variables to make this look nicer I can no longer get the script to work. The following are my variables (NOTE they may not all be needed by I used them all for my testing)

$Source = “C:\File\file.ini”
$F1 = “C:\Temp\F1”
$F2 = “C:\Temp\F2”
$test1 = Test-Path $F1
$test2 = Test-Path $F2

I feel like I don't need to bother testing the second location as I know if the first destination doesn't exist the second will for sure. I tried the following script:

If ($test1) {Copy-Item $Source $F1} Else {Copy-Item $Source $F2}

This worked to copy the file into F1, but when I renamed my F1 folder to F2 to test if it still works, all it did was create a new file in C:\Temp Called F1

When I check my variables $Test1 = True but there is no F1 folder created I am using F2 per the above image. However, if I try Test-Path $F1 it comes back False. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I changed my double quotes to single quotes and added -pathtype info to my variables

$Source = 'C:\File\file.ini'
$F1 = 'C:\Temp\F1'
$F2 = 'C:\Temp\F2'
$test1 = Test-Path $F1 -PathType Container
$test2 = Test-Path $F2 -PathType Container

If($test1 -eq $true) {Copy-Item $Source $F1} Else {Copy-Item $Source $F2}

I tested different scenarios for my variables to see what the outcome was.

$F1
Test-Path $F1
Test-Path C:\Temp\F1 -PathType Container
$test1 -eq $True 

$F2
Test-Path $F2
Test-Path C:\Temp\F2 -PathType Container
$test2 -eq $True

With just F1 folder the results were all correct

With just F2 folder the results were wrong. It should have been all False for the top and all True for the bottom

And with F1 and F2 folders created the results were also wrong when they should be true for all the results

So what I am finding from this is I cannot use

$test1 -eq $true
