Editing a file creation date (windows).

Windows 10 to be specific in case that matters.
Can you do this & if the answer is yes then how?
I suppose the forum will censor me so I'll just say I know this is being a little bit bum but I want to edit some files where the creation date is concerned. So you have a video file, it was made when it was made. It sits on your HDD for ages for editing & you eventually get round to it. The new file will have a new date but you would rather it be the date of the original file.
Can you do that?

This sort of question is better answered using Google than MSE. Have a look at this webpage: How to Change the Last Modified Date, Creation Date, and Last Accessed Date for Files and Folders (online-tech-tips.com)The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1
