How to copy only new files

I have two large folders and I need to copy only modified and new files from source to target folder, is there a way to do that with explorer in windows 10 ? or with a free tool ?

I use SyncToy by Microsoft. The Echo option will do that and will also delete files in target that are deleted in source.
If you select preview at bottom it will list all files that have changed and you can uncheck any you don't want copied.

You can use this batch script to copy new and modified files.

Robocopy comes with windows and will do it. Look at the /mir option. It's how I handle my data backups.

I use the following freeware to back up only modified files and new files, while other files will remain unchanged. It works with local devices/folders.

FreeFileSync does the trick. I also use it for backing up.

Thanks alot guys for all great suggestions
