Hi, I'm building a new system, and in the process will be upgrading from Win7 to Win10. The machine will be new hardware other than the GPU and a couple of hard drives used for data which I'll port over from the old machine (note the OS will be a fresh install on a new drive). However last time I did something similar I had this weird security permissions problem afterwards - all the folders and files on a transferred drive were locked, and I had to find a way of changing permissions for everything. I managed it in the end, but it took a while and was a pain in the ass.
To this day I don't know what caused that, and I'm worried it might reoccur. So can someone advise - should I just be able to take a drive from my current Win7 system and plug it into the new system and use it there? Basically like you would a USB drive. Or do I need to do something different?
