Bing Had No Opinion Whether This IS Kosher or Not
My (maybe) Parting Gift To All My Readers: Get SyncToy Now!

Computer Karma's gonna get you
It's gonna take away all your bread
Better use a bunch of different passwords
Before your bank account is in the red
 — With Apologies to Mr. John Lennon
Download the 64-bit Windows SyncToy Installer

↓
 From the MajorGeeks website
from one of the 2 links displayed or →

A ZIP folder will created in the Downloads folder. 
In Windows 10 and Windows 11 NO ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE IS NEEDED TO
UNZIP THE CONTENTS OF THE ZIP FOLDER. 
Click the Microsoft SyncToy 32 bit x86 or x64.zip 64 bit
Most Windows 10 and Windows 11 will use the 64 bit version

You can change the default folder the installer is extracted to, but I suggest you accept the default.  You will have two subfolders under the original SyncToy folder in Downloads.
 
Click the the x64 installer file.  It is 3.5 megabytes in size.  The installation will begin.
   
The installer will start.  The installation is very straight forward. 

If you are prompted to download additional dotNet Framework files, that is not unusual. 
Accept the additional dotNet installation. 
Where you see a click into box or button, make the same click.
 First screen. Check the box. Click Next.                 Click Agree.  Click Next. 
   
Make life simple. Click Everyone → Next               Almost Done.  Click Next. 
   
And le voilà!  Your installation is complete.  Click Close. 
 
Now you can close this tab, and you will return to the Main SyncToy page. 
Learn how to setup and run up your backup.
