    Access my user files from another PC


    I am trying to access files from my previous PC. I've restored the backup of that PC's C: drive to a vhdx virtual disk. I can mount it and access all of its files except the files in my user folder - I don't have access rights from my new computer. What to I need to do to access those files? I am on the most current version of Windows 10 (2004).
