So I recently built a new computer and I am trying to transfer my files/folders ect from my old computer to my new one. I bought a 5TB WD Passport external harddrive and copied everything from my old computer into it.
Then I plugged the WD Passport into my new computer and transferred the files into it. This is where I'm running into issues.
When I go to open some of the folders that I transferred in, I get this message:
"Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct."
The files aren't in use and it is basically telling me I don't have authority to open these files. I get other messages of the like telling me I don't have authority to open the files.
How do I set the file so that I can open it. I have a feeling I just need to change some sort of authorization setting, but I don't know what. I'm running Windows 10. Both computers (new and old) are running windows 10 and were in an admin account when files were transferred.
