New install now no permission to access any file or folders old drives
I had an older PC running windows 10 which was installed on an old HDD. I finally picked up a SSD for it. I opted for a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD. Everything seemed to go okay until I tried to access anything but what Windows installed.
Every folder, file, etc I don't have permission to access. It doesn't matter if it was a Windows folder on the old drive or a folder of music on drive. I have never had this issue before after doing a new install. Usually I can just connect the old drives and access them without issues.
I found the Take Ownership context menu install which seems to fix these issues, but it seems I have to do it on everything so I am hoping there is a better fix. I tried changing the security on the drives, but they are stuck in Read Only.
