Windows 10: Substitute for PC Tools (PC Shell) for Win 10 File Copying

Years ago, the PC Shell utility in PC Tools allowed you to copy single or multiple directories and files from one location to another, e.g.: from one partition to another. But that suite has been absorbed by Symantec. Beyond Compare was another good oldie because it let you see folder contents side-by-side.

I'm looking for a replacement to overcome Win 10's stupidity. I.E., if four folders all contain a same-name file with perhaps different elements, Win 10 sees those files as the same even though they're in different directories. PC-Shell used to be able to copy them all into the correct corresponding locations while Win 10 halts, saying they're the same and won't copy file 1 into folder 1, file 2 into folder 2, etc., unless you examine them separately. That's fine for 3 or 4 instances, but not when you're copying massive collections. Yesterday, I had 71 such instances in one copy session.

Any wonderful ideas? Of course, free would be good. But low cost is good too. Appreciate the help.

Transfer one drive files to new PC

I am getting a new PC (Win 10). Old PC (Win 10) had one drive files with the login associated with that copy of Win 10. How do i get the old one drive files to my new PC? Do I need a new ID/PW on the new Win 10 or do I use the old one on the new PC?

 

Win 10 Pro Activation Failed get “ Activation failed because this device doesn’t have a valid digital entitlement or product key. Error code 0x803F7001”

I actually did the upgrade to Pro version on 2 PC. On 1 PC I do not have a recovery and it originally had Win 7 and I actually have CD that came with the PC to restore the OS. So am I better off using the restore original OS and then upgrade to Win 10?
I looked at the clean install link you provided and it talks about downloading downloading the media creation tool, if I do that and choose "for another PC" then how do I get the drivers for the PC? ( I have copies of all my programs to reinstall and personal
files so I will not lose anything).

On the second PC where I do have a recovery USB drive, is there any difference in clean install between keeping my files or not keeping my files (Again I have copies of everything and can reinstall all of my programs an files).

 

Would this be something worth looking at:

I have it on a couple of computers, have also had Total Commander [paid] on a computer for a few years. I also use Commander One on my MacBook Pro with macOS Sierra, quite similar.

 

Built in robocopy does all that and you can now get gui if you don't like Cmd very fast been around for years

 

Thank you, Berton. Sounds good. I'll look into it shortly and report back 2 U.

Thank you, Samuria. I'll try your idea if Berton's doesn't work.

 

Teracopy works well TeraCopy for Windows - Code Sector

One up from Robocopy from TechNet Free Utility: RichCopy, an Advanced Alternative to RoboCopy

 

Bravo, Berton!

You hit the nail on the head. Easy to download, install, and use right away. Just what I needed. Now in the middle of copying 4 partitions and it's flowing smoothly, so I thank you very, very much.

 

You're welcome, glad it worked for you.

 

Would also like to recommend MultiCommander. It's a two-pane file manager and it really does great with copying over net works!

 

Thank you, Mark. Looks good on the surface so I'll try to remember it if Free Commander stops doing what I need.

One quick, small point, FYI...Chrome says the MultiCommander.com site is "Not Secure". So, I quickly X'd out of it.

 

I just went there with the latest Firefox and no problem.

 

Thank You, I'll keep that in mind.

 

Thank you. I'll try to remember that if FreeCommander falters.
