Problem: How to Select the latest file when copying two identical dir/subdir sets from a Win7 machine and a Win10 machine to a new Win11 machine?
A long unnecessary backstory has resulted in some Excel/Word work (~8 GB is the entire set size) being done using both the Win7 and Win10 machines over several months. Going forward, once a copy/paste of the teased out C:\Documents\... is finished to the new Win11 desktop and laptop the older machines will be retired.
I can picture on one of the new Win11 machines having two instances of explorer open representing the two older document sets machines and each explorer open to C:\documents and "something" then able to automatically run both explorers teasing out whichever has the newest file date and then including that file amongst those allowed to migrate.
There are some files that may exist on the Win7 but not the Win10 (and vise versa) and those orphan files would be included in the above process.
Is there a util that would solve the problem?
