    How do I open retrieved files?


    I just purchased a new HP computer Windows 10. I used the Western Digital software to retrieve the files that I had on my old computer (laptop) that I had stored on a Western Digital external hard drive (MY Passport} The files were successfully retrieved as far as I can tell and placed in a folder but I cant tell which files are music, pictures or documents.

    My problem is that I can find no way to open the files or place them in the appropriate places in my new computer, such as music or photos. I do sometimes get a message "you do not have permission to open this file". Please help. Thanks in advance. John H.

    :)

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile How do I open retrieved files? :)
