Is there a batch script or program for Windows that will allow me to bulk rename files with the logic of 'take everything up to the first underscore and move it to the end of the file name'? (zerobytes.monster)

I have 10 years worth of files for work that have a specific naming convention of [some text]_[file creation date].pdfand the [some text] part is different for every file, so I can't just search for a specific string and move it, I need to take everything up to the underscore and move it to the end, so that the file name starts with the date it was created instead of the text string.

Is there anything that allows for this kind of logic?
