I need advice.
I need to transfer the data "Date" from the original files (folder 1) to the converted ones (folder 2).
As a result, folder 2 still has the conversion date.

You command should be
exiftool -TagsFromFile C:\x\1\%f.%e -AllDates -FileModifyDate -FileCreateDate C:\x\2

You were missing the %f.%e from your command. Without it, exiftool doesn't know what file to copy from and is "touching" all the target files, which will simply update the FileModifyDate to the current time and not actually copy any data.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
