Why does date change when copying files?
Copy: It creates a new copy of original file, i.e, basically a new File. So the file is created as new. However, the contents of the file was modified in original file by some one on a different time, so its untouched. So Modified date always refers, whether a change was made to the file content or name.
What happens to the modified time when I copy a file?
The dates on the files within the folder doesn’t change, but the date for the folders at the new location get changed. I am observing that the “Modified” time doesn’t change if the copy operation is within the same drive (say C:\\Temp to C:\\Temp). But, the “Modified” time is off by a second when I copy a file from the C: drive to a USB drive.
Why does the folder modification date always change?
The folder Modification Dates always change because they’re brand new, having just been created. I don’t know of any way to change that. There is an option in robocopy to copy those attributes.
What’s the best way to move a folder?
One of the most common methods to copy or move a file or folder is to drag and drop it into the destination folder. By default—depending on the location of the destination folder—File Explorer might move it instead of copying it, or vice versa. However, there’s a hidden method that overrides Windows’ default behavior.

They are on the same file system. mv does not preserve modified date but stamps it as now. I could do a copy and delete, but like I said this is a large volume of data so copy/delete would take a lot of time. If I have to I can do that, but I’m surprised there is no way to move files and preserve their modified date.
