Show or Hide Folder Merge Conflicts in Windows 10

In Windows 7 when you wanted to move one folder to another location where the folder already has the same name as this one, a popup appears asking you whether you want to merge both the folder into a single folder which holds the content of both the folders. But with the recent version of Windows this feature has been disabled, instead, your folders will be directly merged without any warning.

To bring back the popup warning in Windows 8 or Windows 10 which asked to merge folders, we have created a guide that will help you step by step to enable the Folder Merge Conflicts again.
