    Not an Administrator? But I am!!


    I have a new laptop. I have successfully transferred over my files, my Google profiles, and my Microsoft 365 subscription, but whenever I try and save either a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet using either Save or Save As I get a pop-up box saying "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission", which is frustrating because in the Control Panel, I am set up as an administrator. At the moment I am having to save everything in Documents and then transfer the files over to where I want them. Any suggestions on how I can resolve this,

    :)
