All files will be owned by old user use are take ownership tool and you will have to do the whole drive

Try taking ownership via one of these options instead for the whole drive. 6 Tools To Take Ownership and Get Full Control Of Files and Folders • Raymond.CC

Typically you take ownership and then apply permissions in that order.

Take Ownership incorporates a broad spectrum of file utilities.

I found that a better alternative is to install "Grant Admin Full Control" on your PC.
Then, it shows up in the Right Click Context menu, when you right click on any file or folder.
Once you gain Full Control of that file or folder, you can pretty much do what you want with it.

It's one of the first things I install when setting up any new OS. And it works equally well on any
OS from 7 to 10.

The ver. I use was written back in 2011, but still works great.

Good Luck,
