Question Copying Files from hard disk to internal SSD

[akshayvinchu]

I have replaced my laptop's HDD with ssd. Now I am trying to copy some large files from HDD to SSD using HDD connector USB case. I am using window 10. When I copy and paste file in SSD I get window 'Folder Access Denied' with message "You" ll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file/folder". So to give permission I click on continue button It gives me same message with try again button. So I tried to change permissions, also chang owner of all folders and partitions still I get same problem. So I thought USB case must not be providing enough power to HDD. But when I connect it to linuc mint OS it copied any file without any problem. So what should I do to copy this files on windows.

Prior to swapping out drives, you should've ideally backed up your critical content to a partition that is not going to be formatted on your HDD. Ideally, once you've backed up all you needed to back up, you can then swap the SSD and HDD locations, during OS reinstallation format the previous installation drive(on your HDD) and then install the OS on your SSD.

Since you can copy through Linux mint, I would recommend that as Linux doesn't seem to care about Windows file permission.

At work in the past though, I've had to go in and remove all permissions from folders before, then to make our admin account the owner and replace all permissions underneath. Sometimes I've had to do that multiple times on the same folder before it took.
