[SOLVED] Account settings gone to chaos

[chucky9]

so i recently put a ssd into my system and i decent to reintall windows to it and create a new profile on it, i transfered all the settings from my old profile to my new one and then deleted the windows install and my old profile from the harddrive, however now when ever i try to move a file from a download or another hard drive it tell me that it says needs permissions from old profile/new profile.

but the old profile doesnt exist..... my question is how do i make this profile into the only profile on the computer and the system admin so i can do anything i want as i am the only person that uses this system

format hard drive, reinstall windows, and create new profile at that point.

https://www.raymond.cc/blog/easily-take-ownership-and-grant-full-control-permission-with-winownership/ Take Ownership adds a command to your context menu. Right click the folder in question and click on take ownership. That should allow you to do what you need to do.

Messing around with profiles like that will cause all sorts of problems, save data elsewhere and then reinstall windows.

If your comment was in regards to mine I have been using it for a couple years now without issue. You used the word will which makes it seem like a foregone conclusion when I know otherwise.

Is there no way to just create a new profile and set it as admin so i dont loose all my files and save game etc
