    I have a requirement where remote clients need to copy/paste *.tar files from handheld devices to Windows via Explorer for FTP Transfer.It is vital that they do not overwrite files with existing same names. However the facility in Windows 10 Below - "Compare info for Both Files" - which previously allowed both files to be kept but with an automated name change now seems to be missing in Windows 11?Where is this functionality found in Windows 11?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
