There's a bit more of a learning curve to it. Apart from hash matching, it will find duplicate or visually similar images, where it's the same picture but a different resolution. It also detects similar music tracks.

Hi Tom, This is Ramesh.
Windows doesn't have a built-in option to check for duplicate files. You may need a third-party solution like CCleaner or Auslogics to find duplicate files (based on file hash, not just the file names or size).
