20 Blunts: Jan 21, 2017

Problem:I just had a laptop die so I pulled the HD and got a USB cable to plug it into the new laptop.

All of my important stuff is on a partition separate from the Windows files. I can see everything but can't even view any files because it's basically asking for permission from the old Windows admin. They're encrypted apparently and I don't know how to get them freed up for transfer to the new laptop.

Os: Windows 10

Attempts: tried booting to that hard drive and it won't seem to do it.

You probably just need to "take ownership"? Google for that and "windows 10" and see if it solves the issue.
