In Windows 7 (and maybe earlier versions of Windows), if you used Windows
Explorer to copy an updated version of a file over the top of an existing
one, you got a "File already exists" dialog box which displayed the
timestamps of the old and new versions of the file.

In Windows 10, you get a "Replace?" option but you need to click on "More
Details" if you want to see the timestamps then you get presented with check
boxes to decide whether to keep the old copy of the file or overwrite it
with the new one.

Is there an easy way of reconfiguring Win 10's Explorer to use a dialog that
displays everything in one place like for Win 7?

Maybe something like this would have it. Dunno.
There could be an option here, to just fiddle with File Explorer.

http://www.classicshell.net/

The other way, would be to look for a tweaker or something.
Going for an entire utility would be a bit dangerous (as the
OS can be modified on any given day, tossing your selected
utility into the weeds).

The dialog would not even appear at all, if the Hide Folder Merge Conflicts
was ticked in Folder Options.

One article claimed it was a COM object, and might be replaced at that
level, but that doesn't mean you get to replace it with the Windows 7
COM object.

There are always worse options out there, somewhere. This page
compares some of the options. But I'm not finding the option you
want, which is just to put the old dialog back.

Covers some of the same territory.
