    @TomResing sorry to revive such an old post, but it looks like this answer may have actually been right after all, specifically because it mentions moving the document as opposed to the line from your question When I copy a document from library A to Library B using the Content and Structure tool. The reason I'm commenting is, as Kolten mentions on Jaap's answer, drag-and-drop move in Explorer view changes the "Modified by" metadata of all version to that of the user performing the move. I'm wondering if using Content and Structure to do the move would preserve metadata and versions. Commented Aug 18, 2015 at 20:05
  • Just saw this thread now. Moving using content & structure do preserve version history and is the best OOTB option to move data with version history as it works with lists & libraries Commented Apr 20, 2017 at 10:45
