Copying Files to changes Owner Name? :S

If anything would change it it's turning on the copy security permissions option, but I think that only copies the permissions (ACLs) and not the ownership.

You can do it using the built-in Windows xcopy command with the /O switch. You will need to run it elevated (as Administrator) since non-admins cannot set file ownership. This Opus button takes care of all of that, elevating (via UAC) and then copying the selected items from source to destination:
