Help with previous hidden folder moved to new laptop - no permission

Have you tried an elevated command prompt and used attrib -h on the folder?

Sorry, Very basic computer knowledge here so no I haven't and don't know what that is

icacls /t /c F: /grant "Authenticated Users":(M)
icacls /t /c F: /grant Users:(RX)
icacls /t /c F: /grant Administrators:(F)
icacls /t /c F: /grant SYSTEM:(F)

Oh, forgot one step. You need to do that in an Elevated Command Prompt
