    Old Drive, New Computer but missing some files


    Hi There:And thanks for your help.So the issue is that my previous computer running Pro 10 had a coronary. The good news is that the hard drives survived, I have now plugged them into my new machine Win 11 Home thru a docking station.Now I do see the Program files, Windows files etc......the files that I want and need to see are the Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos Folder. They are MIA!I have looked into changing the permissions etc.... and nothing, no Documents. Any advice....DanThanks

    :)

  2. How to stop File History on the old drive and start File History on a new drive?

    I use the external drive
    for File History and have a lot of information there. I want to restart the File History process on a new drive and place the previous File History drive off-site.

    Please suggest the steps to stop File History on the old drive and start File History on a new drive.

    Old Hard drive to new hard drive

    I now have my old hard drive converted to an external drive and am wondering what is the best way to move files from the old to the new. I was thinking of booting the old drive and saving the files I want to the cloud and then downloading them to my new
    computer. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    • Press Windows logo key + S on your keyboard.
    • Type diskmgmt.msc on the search box and hit Enter.
    • Look for your missing drive on the Disk Management window.
    • Right-click on it and give it a new drive letter.
