Windows 10: How can I change the dates on my Photo files

I transferred my photos to a computer and all the "dates created" are the same. How can I alter the respective dates on each folder; especially for my photo folders

Can't change photo date

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



What is the file extension for the photos which are facing the issue?



It is possible that the Windows photos app has gone corrupted due to the involvement of third party websites/applications.

You can try to run app troubleshooter and check if that fixes the issue.

Refer to
fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store .



Alternatively, you can try the following steps to change the date of the photos:

1. Select the file from the file explorer.
2. Right click on it and click on Properties.
3. In the image properties, click on the Details tab.
4. Look for the section Origin>Date taken and click on the mentioned date.
5. Edit the date accordingly and click on Apply and OK.

Hi,

You can change the dates of your photos in Windows 10. So, if you sort by date, then it also gets sorted by time within the date.

To change the date in photo, follow the steps below:

• First, in a File Explorer view of the directory, right-click the file or the photo you want to change the date.
• Select Properties.
• Click on the Details tab, then click on the Date taken
  field.
• Move your mouse cursor over to the actual value of the date and click on it, and the field becomes editable.

Some of the other metadata are also editable in the same way.
