Windows 10: Permission denied, transferred folders/files (including jpg and more) from Windows Vista to...

I have transferred folders/files from vista to windows 10 via usb, external hard drive and eztransfer but cannot access most of them, permission is denied. When I click on security, I see user or group but there are 3 choices- clicking on any one of them (blindly/gambling) to add permission does not work- please advise if possible. Although I'd like to know how to fix this, and need to know, I'd rather not have to click on each folder/file and go through a tedious process for each one every time if at all possible. thanks so much!
