  1. Can't copy Win 10 Users folder to Win 11


    I can copy a Win 10 Users folder to my other Win 10 computer, but I can't copy it to Win 11 Pro. It's connected to the Network, even though I get an error message saying it's not in the network. From Win 11, I can open the Win 10 Users folder, but I can't copy it to Win 11. I backup my 3 networked computers every night. Win 10 didn't have this restriction on backing up my Users folder

    :)

  2. Access Win 10 user account on new Win 11 PC

    I have built a new PC and have a clean install of Win 11 Pro. I was unable to upgrade from my old Win 10 Pro machine as it had an unsupported CPU.

    I have a O&O disk image of the old Win 10 system drive and I need to copy my documents from my Win 10 C:\Users\<username>\Documents\ folder to the Win 11 machine but don't have permissions to access the folder when the Win 10 disk image is mounted as a drive in Win 11. There are also some app config files in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\ that would speed up my transition to the Win 11 machine.

    Can anyone tell me how to set the permissions to access the Win 10 folders please?

    Win 11 folder move or copy options

    I've used Windows for decades but Win 11 really lets us users down. Just for speed of use i keep going back to my Win 10 laptop. Why have the toolbars with the quick convenient copy to or move to been taken out? It's almost as bad as apple. Whoever thought this new system was progress really got it wrong and hopefully these folder options for being able to copy or move will be restored with an update.
