Windows 10: Backup recovery

I had to move back to an old PC with WIndows 10 from a PC with windows 10. I had a 1 week old backup that I installed on the recovery PC . When I try to open the files they all say I don't have permissions. For word and XLS files I have been able to give admin privileges. Pictures I can't get to show at all. How do I give access to all the files I recovered on the PC I am currently using?

Data backup and recovery help thread

We get heaps of threads on this, so lets make a nice organised list of programs people can use for backing up, restoring, and recovering data.




For a quick start to this, some pointers.

1. If you formatted a drive and did NOT write to it, recovery is possible. If you installed any data over it (such as windows, or copying files to it) then you need to restore a backup, or accept that you will have lost some, most, or all of your data.

2. Backups are not perfect - for example, a virus that killed your machine could also be in your backup. try and backup your important data first, not your operating system and useless files - and store it in more than one place if possible (for example, an external hard drive AND on DVD)




Now to the programs:

Free Data recovery software
Piriform Recuva - Highly recommended by TPU users, myself included.
