My W7 Permissions borked: will upgrading to W10 import the problem?
Folks,
I've got a homegroup. All on W7. One machine was not sharing with the others. In a fit of WinRage, I selected "C", my OS drive, and forced a "share all" and did the same with my data drive, "D".
Now, I've found that my network printer (an HP8630) is inop with that computer. It works with the rest; I can browse to it from the problem machine; it's just that no item ever prints and I have a "missing driver" message which never goes away, despite uninstalling/reinstalling/running HP Dr.
This problem started from the time I tried to force the sharing. (The good news is that now all the folders I want are being shared.)
At some point during the troubleshooting process, I got a message from Windows that the permissions are messed up.
Can I just upgrade to W10 and have a "fresh" install (albeit, with my data and structure intact)? (And I do mean "upgrade": If I have to do an install from scratch, I may as well do it with W7 for now.)
Thanks,
Ken
