Folder 2
Folder 3
I created folder 1 on 1st January 2017
I created folder 2 on 2nd January 2017
I created folder 3 on 3rd January 2017
On 4th January 2017 I rename the folders and also change “Created Date” of folder with Attribute Changer.
My Question :
Is there are way to find the original “Created Date” of folder
Or
In order the folders are created, like Folder 1 was created first then Folder 2 and last Folder 3

What I have tried:

Not sure what to do? or what software can use or i have to get help from Hard disk manufacturer.

No. The "Created date" and "Modification Date" of files and folders is not maintained in an "undoable" state, nor it it logged.

If you manually alter them, you have discarded the previous values. If you have a good backup regimen, you should be able to recover the info from there.
