Windows 10: Moving a file to a different owner in One Drive

Hi! Is there a way for the copied file link to not break in the excel spread sheet, after moving the original file the one we copied to a different owner's folder? Thank you!

Trying to move files and asks for administrator

Hi Paul,

This is normal when when moving files that may affect some applications or prevent the system from working properly, like moving files in and out of
Program Files folder. To prevent this from happening, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Take the ownership of a file or folder

1. Open Windows Explorer and locate the file/folder, right-click on it and select
   Properties.
2. Go to Security and click Advanced, go to Owner tab and click Edit. If you want to change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click
   Other user and groups, and type the name of the user or group in
   Enter the object name to select, then click
   OK. If you want to change a user or a group that is listed, click new owner in the Change owner
   to box. If you want to change the owner of all subcontainers and objects within the tree, select
   Replace owner on subcontainers and objects box.

Step 2: Turn off UAC or User Account Control

1. Press Windows + X
2. and click Control Panel.Select Large icons that are on the right panel under View.
3. Locate and click on User Account, click Change User Accounts Control Settings.
4. Change to Never notify.
5. Once you complete the process, change the slider to Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer.

Step 3: Enable the built-in administrator account

1. Press Windows + X and click Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Type net user administrator /active:yes and hit Enter.

After this, you can continue to try copy files without admin permission or admin rights without any problems by then.
