Viewing two files at once
I'm learning Windows 11 on a new laptop. I haven't been able to figure out how to view the contents of two folders at once. In Windows 10, I could simply open up a new window to compare contents side by side. I haven't found this yet in Windows 11. I'm de-duping photos and this is about the only way I can do it. If it's the new desktop thing, haven't figured out what that's for, either. Suggestions?

You can Right click on file explorer and select 'File Explorer' twice and that will open up two.
Or
when you have a File Explorer window open, hit the '+' symbol at the top too open a new tab. you can the click and drag that tab away from the current window to open it as a second window
