    Trouble Backing up folders after installing windows 10


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and I receive and error when I am backing up my files. The error is that I must be an administrator to copy the files.

    I never received this error until after I upgraded to Windows 10.

    I am copying the files to an external drive. I updated the user account settings security and am now able to backup Documents, Music and Pictures, but I cannot backup the program files or anything else without getting this error. What setting in Windows do I need to change to be able to copy files?

    I need to be able to backup the software that I have installed on my desktop.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
