If wanting a command-line solution? can use the free exiftool.exe with a command like...
exiftool.exe -ext jpg -fileorder DateTimeOriginal -filename"<${DateTimeOriginal;DateFmt '%Y%m%d'}%+c.%e" "C:\YourFolderPath"
If wanting a bru-graphical solution? first to make sure there is checkmarks inside for both of the menus...
"Renaming Options, ID3/ExifData/FileProperties, Extract Exif Data" and "Renaming Options, Prevent Duplicates".
Filters(12) uses a "Mask" like *.jpg so then to click any folder inside of the folder tree to present only the .jpg files.
To verify all files have a date, sort them by clicking the 'Taken(Original)' column, but make the oldest date 1st, then to use settings like...
Name(2) uses Name==Remove
AutoDate(8) uses Mode==Prefix, Type=Taken(Original), and Custom==%Y%m%d
