    Keeping access to old files on a fresh install of Windows 11


    Hi, I just built a PC and would like to perform a fresh install of Windows 11 on the new SSD I got. I have three other drives from my previous pc and would like to still have access to all their data to sort through, but am concerned that I won't be able to access them due to permissions especially the drive that has Windows 10 installed on it and a few user accounts. Will the new install have access to all the data on the old drives automatically, or do I have to do something before I flash Win11 onto the empty, new drive?My current plan is to flash Win11 onto the drive from a USB stick, se

    :)
