    How can I see my original creation date?


    I bought a new computer in May 2020.I copied all my files to this computer, so in the Windows File Explorer, the creation date of all the old documents are May 2020, even though all the document are from before that time.I know I can see in Word what the original date of creation was eg. 2015 but how can I find documents of my required dates without opening EVERY file to check the original date? TLDR: how to find creation date of a document on a new pc?

    :)

  2. Microsoft OneDrive Changing The 'Original Creation Date' On Folders?

    Please see this

    Fixes or workarounds for recent issues in OneDrive
    on this link
    Fixes or workarounds for recent issues in OneDrive - Office Support
    and the general link
    Back up your Documents, Pictures, and Desktop folders with OneDrive - Office Support

    I appreciate it is One Drive on Microsoft Office but the principle applies to One Drive itself

    If OneDrive backup is on the each time a folder is backed up to OneDrive, the creation date is the date of the backup to the Cloud

    This happens of course, even if you have not changed edited or deleted or modified anything

    Numerous requests have been made to Microsoft for this to be changed, but as far as I know it has not been and Microsoft have I think said it is unlikely it will

    I could provide you with numerous examples but I doubt it would help you

  3. Microsoft OneDrive Changing The 'Original Creation Date' On Folders?

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I hope everyone is staying safe and well from this coronavirus mess

    I've been a longtime Microsoft OneDrive user and paying customer going all the wayback to the original days of SkyDrive

    I have had a huge issue and problem with Microsoft changing the ' Original Creation Date ' on some of my folders without my permission or consent. I've contacted Microsoft OneDrive Support hundreds of times with absolutely no resolution or help to resolve my issue. All I get is excuse after excuse after excuse from Microsoft OneDrive Support, they are absolutely no help at all whatsoever. I don't understand why Microsoft has a support for OneDrive when they don't help or want to resolve the issue

    Let me give a little background, back in December of 2018 all of the Microsoft Office products including Hotmail and OneDrive was down for a day or so. I forgot the reason Microsoft gave into why all of the Microsoft Office products were down. They announced they were installing a patch to get the services back up and running. That is when the issue started arising of the ' Original Creation Date ' changing on folders without me doing anything

    I don't edit, delete, or move anything at all whatsoever and all of the sudden, when I come out of the folder, Microsoft has changed the ' Original Creation Date ' on my folders

    I know for a fact, I'm not the only person that has this problem or issue with Microsoft changing the ' Original Creation Date ' on folders without permission or consent. I've seen other people complain about this same exact issue and yet Microsoft does absolutely nothing to fix this issue and glitch with OneDrive. I know I'm really sick of it and fed up and tired of Microsoft changing my ' Original Creation Date ' without my permission or consent

    I have O.C.D., I know it may not be a big deal to others but it is for me. I have O.C.D. so when Microsoft changes the ' Original Creation Date ' on my folders, it messes with me and throws my vibe and attitude off because I'm accustomed to seeing and wanting my ' Original Creation Date ' to remain as is

    Does anyone else in this forum have this same issue and problem with Microsoft changing the ' Original Creation Date ' on folders without there permission or consent

    How can I see my original creation date?

    Files Creation Date

    Helllo,
    I have several folders with important documents, letters, notes etc. To keep then safe I just copied the several folders to another location (another disc) in the computer. Noticed that all files in the new location got current date as creation date, not as the originals.
    Tried some backup programs, but when they backup / copy the source folders / files to the target location, files creation date is changes to current date.
    Is it possible to do it keeping the original creation date of the files.
    Answers will be appreciated.
    Thanks
