Even if you have Windows 11, you can run TeraCopy 2.27—but you need to trick it:
Alternatively, use TeraCopy 3.6 (last free version for Windows 10/11). It looks modern but feels like the old version. teracopy old version

Title: An Analysis of Legacy File Transfer Utilities: The Enduring Relevance of TeraCopy Old Versions in Modern Computing Environments Alternatively, use TeraCopy 3
Abstract In the landscape of Windows operating systems, the native file transfer mechanism has historically been criticized for its lack of speed optimization and error recovery features. TeraCopy, a third-party file transfer utility developed by Code Sector, emerged as a solution to these limitations. While the software continues to evolve, "old versions" of TeraCopy (specifically v2.3 and v3.x iterations) maintain a significant user base. This paper explores the technical specifications, feature sets, and the socio-technical reasons behind the continued usage of legacy versions of TeraCopy. It examines the trade-offs between modern User Interface (UI) demands, resource consumption, and the stability of older codebases, concluding that legacy software often remains superior in specific high-throughput or low-resource computing scenarios.
Power users love portable apps. TeraCopy 2.x can run entirely from a USB stick with no registry entries. Newer versions force background services and shell extensions that some system admins hate.
