    The best solution of this problem is manually change the Laptop date and then copy the files. Now you open the files or folders. Save the files and folders with different names. Now closed the files and folders. Now restore the date. After this process whenever you open the file and folder you will find out the new date of creation of files and folders. The modification date will also be changed.
