Weird Problem When Accessing Info From External Storage On Laptop

[Findcount]

hi

i connected the boot drive (SSD) from a ''dead'' Win7-32bit pc to a laptop (on win10) to try to access the info on the SSD.....

while i can see the files of the pics, etc in the File Explorer.......whenever i scroll down the list of files......it will automatically return to the top of the list again after a short while................

is this becoz the SSD has Win7 OS still on it and connected to a Win10 laptop ?

how do i solve this problem so i can scroll down the entire list of the files ?


many thanks !

You wont have permission on the old drive it will be owned by a SID from the old pc you will need to take ownershipt of folder to gain access its normal for this to happen we have a util to do this and tutor Add Take Ownership to Context Menu in Windows 10 | Tutorials

many thanks indeed for the info.........so if i took ownership then i'll be able to access the info as usual ?

so i will need to do this whenever i connect this SSD to a new pc ?

On the same pc its a once only but if you put it into another pc you would have to do it again. If you want ro use it on multi pcs then your better converting the drive to fat32 as that has no security [4 Methods] How to Convert/Change NTFS to FAT32 Without Losing Data - EaseUS
