    Search for file transfer by a set date yyyy-mm-dd across multiple sub-folders in MS DOS...


    I bought an external SSD drive a few months ago and started copying files to it straight out of the box- one of which files folders was to backup onto my ext SSD from my laptop HD This particular folder was c 103GB and its filename was labelled with the transfer-date metadata, but I am unsure if this metadata-file-name-label was actually updated at time of copying I have now discovered the SSD is formatted in exFAT and not NTFS, so when I manipulate files in/out of the external SSD copy, del etcetera, I receive error messages ; and I am aware I must back-up my SSD data, wipe and format in NTFS, then return back-up copy to the SSD


    *I am eventually getting to the point of my technical query, after this explanation-intro *

    I want to search across the 103GB folder in regard and into all its sub-folders for files dated after 2020-12-02 Normally when searching in MS-DOS for files the switches for the DIR command eg. <dir/o:n> sort by name ; <dir/a:d> sort by file and/or folder type , do this by listing ascending/descending file list under each sub or each sub-sub folder , but I want a full list of files after a particular date 2020-12-02 gathered together within one query, across a structure of multiple sub-folders


    Would this be done in the Windows interface by typing a query in the file-search bar of the upper write of the File explorer window? If this is so, I assume the query procedure uses reserved words and syntax I am familiar with MS DOS 5 and its file management commands ; but do not know anything about advanced searching from within the Windows File Explorer interface if this approach-idea is at all possible, and/or if this approach-idea offers advantage, and/or if this approach-idea offers different search functionality/feature form the CMD prompt MS-DOS command interface


    I will be grateful for any comments &/ advice &/ opinions ; I am on Windows 10 Pro ; not Window 10 Home ; Hopefully with advice leads I might be able to identify and select sub-folder within my SSD 103GB folder containing files with date metadata after 2020-12-02

    :)

    Format of date - DD MM YYYY

    People in the UK / Europe write dates in the format DD MM YYYY (rather than the way Americans do - MM DD YYYY). Would it be possible to have IE11 and Windows 10 enabled to show files in folders listed in the European way please? How can this be done?

    Format of date - DD MM YYYY

    Well actually it was only there in the Regional settings list as DD/MMM/YYYY format which gave months in the JAN/FEB etc format.

    If you want the DD/MM/YYYY form you have to hand edit the option to DD/MM/YYYY format and it seems to work for all programs.
