Hard Link Windows ›

mklink /H C:\Backups\important.pdf C:\Users\Me\Documents\important.pdf mklink /H requires administrator rights? No – regular users can create hard links to their own files. (But creating links to system files may need elevation.) Using PowerShell New-Item -ItemType HardLink -Path "LinkName" -Target "TargetFile" Example:

\Users\Me\Documents\notes.txt \Backups\notes_backup.txt \Archive\2023\notes.txt In CMD: hard link windows

fsutil hardlink query "filename" Or use PowerShell: mklink /H C:\Backups\important

fsutil hardlink list "filename" Example output: hard link windows
