Finding true duplicate files in Windows

Currently doing a cleanup on an enterprise drive using Windows 7 and have identified a number of duplicate filenames/files. Rather than open each pair of files to compare, is there anyway to see whether or not a number of files are actual duplicates?

As it stands, I can tell that some are exact duplicates by going in and reviewing each file but I'm worried that some may have different text but remain the same filesize which would eliminate the ability to review solely based on filesize.

You can use the FC command as you would use diff in linux.

For example FC file1 file2 or FC /B File1 File2 for binary files.
