How to Find Duplicate Photos in Windows 11 Quickly

Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about findin’ them pesky duplicate photos on that there Windows 11 contraption. You know, the ones that clutter up your machine faster than chickens in a feedin’ frenzy.

First off, let me tell ya, this Windows 11 thingamajig, it’s got its own way of doin’ things. Not like the old days, no sirree. But don’t you fret none, we’ll figure it out together.

Now, they got this thing called Microsoft Photos. It’s built right into the Windows 11, like a tick on a dog. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s got a way to find them duplicate pictures. But hold your horses, ‘cause it ain’t always there. If you got that old “Photos Legacy” thing, well, you gotta get the new one. That old one ain’t worth a hill of beans for findin’ duplicates.

So how do ya use this Microsoft Photos thing? Well, I ain’t exactly sure of all the fancy clickin’ and whatnot, but I hear tell you can select a bunch of pictures and see ’em all together, like a patchwork quilt. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll show ya which ones are the same. But honestly, I find it a bit confusing, like tryin’ to teach a pig to sing.

• Important thing to remember: Microsoft Photos might be your ticket, but it ain’t the only horse in the race. There are other ways to skin this cat.

Now, if that Microsoft Photos thing gives you a headache, there’s other stuff out there. I heard tell of somethin’ called EaseUS Dupfiles Cleaner. Sounds fancy, huh? It’s like one of them gadgets the city folks use. This thing, they say, it hunts down them duplicate files and photos like a hound dog on a scent. And it don’t just look in one place, it goes through all your stuff, like a rummage sale through your whole computer. Cleans things up real nice, so they say.

But how do you use it? Well, I reckon it’s got some buttons to push and things to click, but I ain’t no computer whiz. They say it’s easy, though. Just a click or two, and bam! All them duplicates are gone, like dust in the wind.

And then there’s this other way, kinda like lookin’ for a needle in a haystack, but it might work. You can go into them folders where you keep your pictures, you know, like that “Pictures” place. And then you gotta type in some mumbo jumbo in that little search box. Somethin’ like “kind:=picture“. Sounds like gibberish to me, but they say it shows ya all the pictures, even the ones hidin’ in other folders inside that one.

Then you gotta look at ’em all, one by one, like sortin’ beans. And if you see two that look the same, well, you gotta figure out which one to keep and which one to toss. It’s a lot of work, I tell ya, makes my eyes go blurry.

Another thing you can do, if you’re good with them gadgets, is use that “snipping tool” thing. You press some buttons at the same time, Win + PrtSc they call it, and it takes a picture of the whole screen. Or you can press Win + Shift + S, and pick just a little piece of the screen to take a picture of. But that ain’t gonna help you find duplicates, just take more pictures! Maybe you could use it to compare pictures side by side, I don’t know.

Anyways, findin’ duplicate photos, it’s like tryin’ to keep the chickens out of the garden, a never-ending battle. But with these tricks, maybe you can keep that Windows 11 thingamajig a little bit tidier. Remember, keep it simple, like good ol’ country cookin’. Don’t need no fancy gadgets or complicated instructions.

Just remember, keepin’ your computer clean is like keepin’ a clean house. It makes things easier to find, and it just feels better. So go on, get to findin’ them duplicates! And don’t be afraid to ask for help from them young’uns who know all about this computer stuff.

One more thing, y’all, if you’re usin’ that Google thing to keep your pictures, I hear tell you can download ’em all at once. Makes it easier to look for them duplicates, I reckon. Just select what you want, and down they come, like apples off a tree.

And if you got that Bing thing poppin’ up all the time, I heard tell you can turn it off. Somethin’ about goin’ into the settings, but it sounds too complicated for me. If you can turn it off, maybe it’ll make findin’ things on your computer easier.

Alright, that’s all I got for ya. Go on now, and get to work. And don’t forget to back up your stuff, just in case somethin’ goes wrong. Better safe than sorry, that’s what I always say.
