I'm currently in the process of pulling of my hard drives out of a Desktop PC and putting them into my newly built Gaming / Home PC. The specs are listed below. I'm currently running the Windows 10 Home on both machines .
The problem I have run into in the past on wipe and reloads or transfer of drives , is that that the ownership of the 'data' drives changes over to an arbitrary elongated set of digits that that begins with a letter "S". Keep in mind this is not the C drive but a partitioned, WD standard drive.
In the past I have run a TakeOwnership utility but I have still needed to borrow in to all subdirectories rather than running against the parent directory in order to take back ownership.
I no longer want to spend hours doing this. The data is composed of the usual suspects as well as .mp3s, .mp4s, and .jpgs. The media and historical data is of value.
Has anyone ever dealt with this type of issue.
Thanks in advance.
