All the softwares installed on the Win7 machine have been installed the same (some still use x86 version because x64 is not available and other download latest x64 version) to the new Win10 machine.
However, even though the timestamp for the files were synchronized correctly but not the folders. Most of the timestamp in the new folder used the date and time when it was synchronized. This is not good because this group of folders (same timestamp) cannot tell the work progress by time.
Than the same miricle in google i came to this website providing the trick using robocopy which i did try some years ago but failed.
http://www.aionsolution.com/it-support/windows-7/robocopy-a-hint-for-those-with-folder-timestamp-issues-after-syncing/
Hence this is the command.
robocopy "(source") "(destination)" /dcopy:t /copy:t /s /log:(drive letter e:)mylog.txt /NDL
However there is a catch. The command will only syn the date modified and usually the folder detail viewer will only show a date column which does not match with the date modified. I do not know why but you only need to right click the folder viewer heading in order to show the date modified column for syn confirmation.
To generate mylog.txt greatly helps to determind whether there is error for the robocopy command. If mylog.txt has been created instantly, than there is some error.
Now my new folders are syn with the correct timestamp. However, some folders timestamp remain at the last syn timestamp when i moved from WinXp to Win7 and i did not manage to correct it.
