How to export images and keep the date & time of the moment they were taken?

I would like to export my edited RAW images to jpg files while keeping the date and time that they were taken.

I recently switched to a windows computer, I never had this problem before whilst using a macbook.

Are there any settings that I should change so the date of the jpg isn't the date that I exported the image?

You are probably looking at the wrong date/time. The date and time the picture was taken will remain, unless you strip all metadata on export. The file creation date and time will be the time the new file was created, so maybe that is what you are looking at.

Thank you for your answer! Yes, that's indeed the date that I'm looking at! (The time the new file was created)

Is it possible to have that date automatically changed to the date that the picture was taken?

I always export my images to an external library to show them to my family and they were always at the right order, but since I started using the new computer they're now not at the right order.

I think that that's because the external library sorts the images by the date that the file was created.

Thank you in advance!

Maybe there is a utility that can do this. Lightroom Classic can't.
