Use a master "extractor" workbook to retrieve a specific sheet in multiple workbooks

Hello everyone

I am a bit stuck on my current project and after searching these forums I got encouraged to post my question.

Lets say I have some Workbooks saved in a specific path (C:\Workbooks). Each Workbook has a different name and within each Workbook there is a Sheet called "Final Results". This sheet name is constant across all Workbooks.

What I am looking for is a master Workbook that will copy the entire "Final Results" sheet from each workbook in the path. However, I need for each copied sheet to be named exactly as the workbook it was copied from.

I found a piece of VBA code that does most of the work but I cannot seem to tweak it to meet these additional details I am mentioning.

Code:
Option Explicit
Private Enum TextChoice
    Save_Rejected = -1
    Folder_NotPicked = 0
    SheetExist_False = 1
End Enum

Function Folder_Picker(Optional BttnText As String = "OK", _
                       Optional IniFolName As String, _
                       Optional IniView As MsoFileDialogView = _
                                                msoFileDialogViewList, _
                       Optional TitleText As String _
                       ) As Variant
Dim FldPic As FileDialog
    Set FldPic = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    
    With FldPic
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .ButtonName = BttnText
        .InitialFileName = IniFolName
        .InitialView = IniView
        .Title = TitleText
        
        If .Show = -1 Then
            Folder_Picker = .SelectedItems(1)
        Else
            Folder_Picker = "False"
        End If
    End With
End Function
Function BrowseForFolder(Optional OpenAt As Variant, _
                         Optional TitleBarText As String = _
                            "Please choose a folder" _

Any help in order to help me solve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Perhaps something like this.
Code:
Sub GetFinalResults()
Dim wbDst As Workbook
Dim wbSrc As Workbook
Dim strFilename As String
Dim strPath As String


        Set wbDst = ThisWorkbook

        strPath = "C:\Workbooks"

        strFilename = Dir(strPath & "\*.xl*")

        While Len(strFilename)>0 

                 If strFilename <> wbDst.Name Then

                      Set wbSrc = Workbooks.Open(strPath & "\" & strFilename)
                      
                      wbSrc.Worksheets("Final Results").Copy After:=wbDst.Worksheets(wbDst.Worksheets.Count)

                      wbDst.Worksheets(wbDst.Worksheets.Count).Name = strFilename

                      wbSrc.Close SaveChanges:=False

                 End if

                 strFilename = Dir
       Wend

End Sub
