    Does Windows 10 home have a built in function where you can automatically have the contents of a folder mirrored to another folder on another drive?

    Mirroring Issues: Create Mirror of existing drive

    I have two important data drives that I had mirrors of in Windows 7. When I got a new system and moved the drives over to my Windows 10 computer, the mirror did not stay synced as expected. I don't remember exactly what happened (it was back in May) but I thought I fixed the problem when the I finally saw the message saying that it was re-synching (can't remember if that is the exact word used in the interface).

    Anyway, I noticed today that the drives were now separate and not working as a mirror... glad nothing happened in the meantime. I am really irritated that my upgrade broke the mirror... but such is life (and Microsoft) I guess. So I deleted the volume that was not up to date hoping to recreate the mirror. However, things don't appear to work the same as they did in Windows 7. How do a create a mirror of an existing drive? I was able to do that in Windows 7.

    The drive is probably around 5 years old so I need to get this done ASAP (I don't remember exactly when I bought it but it is my oldest drive). I need to re-mirror the partitions. Any help would be appreciated.

    Mirror or sync folders on separate drives?

    How do I sync a folder between 2 PCs?

    Just simply drag and drop music folder on to drive you want it on and it will sync and copy it to that drive...and the music folder will remain where it was!!
