    Google "auslogics duplicate file finder". Works for me.

    If you can't find a tool to do it, you can do a directory listing piped to a file, ordered by file size (so 2 files the same size appear next to each other)

    dir /os >listing.txt

    then you can compare two files with the fc command

    fc /b file1.ext file2.txt

    Assuming that there aren't different versions of each unique filename, how about copying one folder contents into the other.

    Result : Combined folder.
