So today i wnet to my friend and got my hdd with me so. He can copy the games into from his 0c into mine
We did
He copied about 500g of games bf1 bf5 rdr2 cod warzone
The storage went from 2tbs to 1.4g

I just plugged my hdd into my pc
And nothing of the files i copied today is here

It was a brand new hdd
 
Solution
you can certainly do that but you would need to go to your friend's place again.
do you have two hard drives ? you could format a "travel" hard drive in exFAT , this file system doesn't have permissions

can you try again to go to drive H -> right click properties -> security and check "replace all child permisssions" ? ownership change is a bit tedious on windows

edit : if it doesn't work, do it with command line (black cmd window) :
takeown /f H:\* /R

then
icacls H:\* /setowner pc /T /C /L /Q

then
icacls H:\* /grant pc:MA
