Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a search for my situation, and not of the solutions seem to work for me. Sorry if it’s long winded to.
Basically my problem is that I am denied permission to a file (drive) and no matter what I try, I can’t get access.
Background: My old computer was on it’s last leg. I took out the SSD and just assumed I’d be able to copy over all my important files. I purchased one of those USB 3.0 Docks where you can just plop in the SSD to access files or 2 of them to clone a drive.
I have windows 10 home addition. When I put the ssd in the dock and turn the dock on, my laptop recognizes the drive. When I double click on it to access the files, I get a message that says I don’t have permission to access the fold. It also says “click here to get permanent access”. When I click on that, it says I have been denied access and the I have to go through the “Security tab”. When I right click on the drive and select “properties”, I don’t have a “Security” tab. I don’t have rgedit.msc and have been unable to install it. I spent the better part of 5 hours yesterday trying everything I could find online and still cannot access the files on the drive. Like everyone else, I have some important stuff on there and I’m just baffled how it is that I can’t get permission to access is.
I only have one account on my windows which is mine and is an administrator. I have to imagine that this is a common issue, but so far the solution has escaped me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
