I have a large data drive that I am copying to a new system. The issue of course is the files are created when copied.

I'm hoping to mass update the date created to modified date as these are write once files anyway. If I could limit to only those created after the modified date, that would be ideal.
 
If you copy them using robocopy the files will retain both the original creation date and the original modified date.
 
BulkFileChanger - might download tonight, I saw it but looked like it would only update everything to one fixed value and not each individual file's date created...

Robocopy - that thought occured to me as I wrote this having realized that over 1.5 TB is moved...
