Now my question is: how does that impact where a file hasn't been
accessed in (2019-1996=.... carry the one,) over 23 years?


NTFS uses UTC, so a change for DST doesn't affect the recorded
timestamp. FAT32 uses the local time, and you change that for DST. You
are using the datestamp for the source file on NTFS against the
datestamp for the destination file on FAT32, and Windows is using the
local time for the FAT32 partition's files.

The article at the end of my length reply describes why FAT32 sucks for
file comparison on datestamp under Windows due to the change for DST.


Thanks.
