Windows 10: Do not have permission to view files from old pc on new pc

I built a new pc and just finished transferring all the files from my old pc. Now I find I don't have permission to access them. I did find a way to go in and grant permission one by one, but we're talking 1tb worth of files. Is there a way to do all the files in one go?

Unable to view transferred files on the computer due to file permission issue on Windows 10.

Hi Andrea,



Please reply to a few questions asked below to understand the issue better:

• Which photo viewing application are you using on the computer?
• Did you check if you are able to view the pictures using other photo viewing application?

If haven’t tried, check if you are able to view the pictures using other photo viewing applications on the computer. If you are facing similar issue and able to access the old computer, check if you are able to view the picture files on connecting
the external device.



If you are able to access pictures in the old computer, give Full Control permissions to the folder by following the steps suggested in the above post, copy the same to an external drive and transfer onto the new computer and check
if the issue is resolved.



Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of not able to view photo files on the computer
for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.
