I have two Windows 10 machines. A desktop and a laptop.
The laptop has completely died so I want to take the data off the laptop drive and copy it over to my desktop.
So, on my desktop, I can see the folder listings but it's saying the folders are empty. The account on the laptop isn't the same name as my desktop.
I've tried taking ownership of the folders I want, I've told it to inherit permissions, I've set my local account to have full control, etc. But nothing. I can only see the folders.
Windows properties shows well over 300 MB in the "Users\myuser" folder from the laptop drive. So it knows there's data there.
Any ideas on what I can do differently?
I'm 99% sure I didn't have encryption on the laptop but it wasn't always used by me. But again, I don't think that was ever turned on.
