    Is it possible to find who the original creator of a file or folder?


    I am trying to see who the original creator of a file or folder in Windows 10, or in general Windows OS. Is this possible if the files were copied from another device or computer? I know I can change ownership of a file (or folder), but after it's copied to another device is the creator the same? And my focus is more on media files and folders such as video files, music, or picture files. If this has been posted, my apologies for my lack of search skills, but I have tried searching even in this forum, and can't seem to find the answer. Thank you in advance!

    :)
