    I have never done it as it is not necessary to do so.
    However, I have begun to feel its usefulness. So, I went about looking for a method.

    I have found SyncToy 2.1 from Microsoft download center.
    There is download choice of 32-bit and a 64-bit Setup exe.

    Here is my uncertainty.....
    The 2 computers I want to sync are a 32-bit and a 64-bit .
    Will this SyncToy work for me?

    Also,does it make any difference if the 2 computers are of 2 difference OS?

    Thank you.

    Forgot to mention.....
    The 2 computers that are in homegroup are set to share all folders.
    I have no issue access files and folders between the 2.

    Well not sure how much you like but Win 8.1 has a 'Work Folders' location that is suppose to do just that - they of course will also promote SkyDrive to achieve this - I use Cubby - so far so good (was a MESH user before)

    Doesn't sound much like "work folders" will be all that handy for the casual home user.

    If SyncToy no longer works you may want to look into a product like GoodSync http://www.goodsync.com/download
