merging directories in Win 10
« on: 28 January, 2018, 08:35:27 am »
I have a win 10 laptop at home, from which I have copied my personal files onto a large SD card which I cary around with me to access files from my work laptop as I don't want personal stuff on my work's hard drive.

I now have files in each directory of different ages/changes.  Is there an easy way of merging the changed files from the SD card into the copy on the personal laptop's hard drive?  This used to be a useful feechur of Win7, but seems not to be there in Win10?

Or is onedrive a better solution - throw it all at the cloud, periodically back up to a HDD or soemthing, and remember to download stuff I might want offline?

I think I would go the cloud route personally, but Googling "sync files windows 10" brings you this (ignore the 'repair' cruft at the top of the page):
