    File access denied + most of W10 no longer work


    Helloproblem:I had an laptop with w10 installed which due to hardware problems was not working and not used for 2 years. When the repair was done and could start it again practically none of windows functions would work. I could not open, copy or delete 95% of the files due to user permission error.questions:1. I do not have any w10 recovery or back up on CD or externally and windows can not recover. How can I reinstall w10?2. if I buy and install a second w10 in a separate drive how would I transfer my files from old to new user? it doesn't give me access even now that I login as the old

    :)

    LAPTOP is not accessible ..... Access is denied.

    I am trying to share a folder on a LAPTOP. I have other a number of other systems that have folders Shared and they work fine, but with this one I get the error "LAPTOP is not accessible ..... Access is denied." when I try to access it from a different Win10 system. So I went thru the entire "How to Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10" tutorial step by step. File and Print Sharing is enabled, SMB1.0 client & server are running, and Everyone has Full Access to the Share. Still get the error. I have tried it with the Network Public and Private, with the same result. Any suggestions ?

    SMB 1.0 is not required for sharing between two W10 machines, only for sharing with older systems such as XP. It's unnecessary here, but having it should not cause issues either.

    Share permissions set to 'Everyone - Full control' is one thing, but the ntfs permissions on the folder being shared also need to be set to allow access.

    I always turn off Password Protected Sharing on the PC doing the sharing, leaving it on (the default) often causes 'access denied' on trying to connect to the share.
