Windows 10: Windows 10 will NOT save system files!

Hello
I am new to these forums so I hope you will bear with me if I have the wrong forum etc. I have had Windows 10 installed for a while and decided the other day to save anew picture from my webcam for my personal communications etc. I did get the webcam on and clicked take picture. When I went to use the picture it was not where the systemsaid it would be. Nothing had been saved. After checking the properties of the directory the system said I did not have permission to use that directory.
I also tried to download a PDF to my download directory and the file was not saved for the same reason.

Their is obviously a permission problem from going to Windows 10. I previously had Windows 7 Home.

I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance for any and all.

How long is Windows 10 free for?

So I upgrade to Windows 10, but later I want to format my drive and reinstall Windows, but I only have the install disc for Windows 7. Will I still be able to re-obtain my free copy of Windows 10 that I previously downloaded after it is no longer offered
freely?

 

Windows 10: Issues with deleting a particular system file and Administrator Problems.

Original Title: Administrator Problems

The issue is quite simple. Ever since migrating to Windows 10, I've been unable to administrate, though I'm supposedly an administrator with "full control." A current example: I've picked up a trojan file in a c:\windows subdirectory. having full control
of the c:\ directory, I should be able to simply delete the bad file. However, I can't do that because I get the following message:

"You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file." I've tried all the suggestions here and none of them work. This has been an ongoing issue with this OS since I installed it a year ago. Until now, I haven't needed
to "administrate" over this directory, and thought that Microsoft would eventually get around to fixing the problem, especially since there have been so many complaints about it. Apparently, Microsoft can't handle it. BTW, Windows 10 sucks. It's apparently
not built for end users who want to accomplish real work on the computers THEY OWN. Instead it's built for vendors who want to know who you are, where you are and what you're doing, so that they can tailor advertising to you.

 

Media imported with a camera or scanner is usually dated and imported into your Pictures folder. Unless your Webcam has proprietary software that supercedes the default locations. Check in your Documents folder for any dated folders.

If you used a browser other than IE or Edge, it could have saved your PDF file into the Local Temp folder in Appdata/Local/Temp. Look in there for your webcam media too.

 

I am using a Logitech 120 video camera. It comes with its own software of course. I have used it for about 5 years. I primarily use Edge and Firefox as my browsers since I got Windows 10.

I cannot find and appdata directory. Where should it be located at?

Thanks for your answer.

C: >Users > (your name) > App data

 

Just type in %appdata% in your File Explorer. You should end up in C:\Users\<account name>\AppData\Roaming.

From there you can just click on AppData and then go to where you need to be.

 

Went to the Onedrive Pictures folder instead maybe? Also look for a Camera Roll folder.
