Windows 10: Need Help Copying Files from HD to New Computer

I need a little advice copying files from an old hard drive to my new computer.

I’ve removed the hard drive from the old machine, connected the drive to my new machine using a WEme MST-003 USB converter. The converter works great for some files. Yet, there are other files denying me permission to access. I can’t open or copy the file(s).

The files blocking me access are from the same original account as those allowing access.

On the original files, I updated permissions in security settings to allow me access and changed ownership to me. This seems to only work one-file-at-a-time. This wouldn’t be so bad except there are thousands of files. I tried using Powershell and received the “cannot access file” error. I can’t seem to change a folder and all of its contained files all at once.

Any thoughts on what else I can try?

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

Hi Hankriegler,

  Click file explorer from the list.
  
• 
  Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.
  
• 
  Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
  

I hope the information is helpful.
