New Dell XPS-8900 running Win10. I created a Homegroup on the 8900 and joined the Homegroup with my Win8.1 laptop.
When I try to copy a file from the laptop to the 8900 (or from the 8900 to the laptop) I get this error:
..... You need permission to perform this action.
..... You require permission from xxx to make changes to this file. (where xxx is the name of the 8900 or the laptop)
This has to be a Win10 Homegroup problem since that laptop used to work fine on my previous Win7 PC's Homegroup. And the files on my new 8900 PC are on a data hard drive that used to be in my Win7 PC and worked fine with its Homegroup. IOW, all of the data on the laptop and on the new XPS-8900 that used to transfer fine on the Win7 Homegroup, now need permission to transfer on the 8900's Win10 Homegroup.
FWIW, I can assign 'Full control' to a file and then it will transfer. But it's too much of a hassle to have to do that for every file I want to transfer.
Any way to fix this globally?
Hi all,
First thing first, I refused to upgrade to Windows 10 pro from Windows 7. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to come back to my computer after sleeping and BAM Windows 10 was installed and ready to go.
For possible resolution, you may perform a clean boot. It will start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It will start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs.
Secondly, I attempted to revert back to Windows 7 immediately and what do you know, 'We're sorry, but you can't go back. The files we need to take you back were removed.' Awesome!
Since that glorious upgrade, I have run into a boat load of issues.
My other issue:
Now that I'm stuck on Windows 10, I decided to make a fresh install. Saved my important documents on a Thumb Drive, then wiped everything. Once I wiped my hard drive and had a fresh Windows 10 Pro install, I wanted to transfer my important files (only about 5 gb) to my fresh install on my hard drive.
I also get a message saying 'Do you want to copy this folder without encryption' 'A problem is preventing this folder from being encrypted.' (It's a css file)
I hit 'Yes.'
Then on the .css file
I get this really cool message saying 'File Access Denied' 'You need permission to perform this action' 'You Require permission from Everyone to make changes to this file'
Basically nothing will copy over.
Here's what I have tried:
I am the only user on my computer, I have gone into my security of my hard drive and set security for 'Authenticated Users', 'System' 'Administrators' and 'Users' to full access.
I have changed the 'Owner' under advanced to my user account: 'Hayden'.
I have tried to do the same under the thumb drives' properties, but there is NO security tab. Therefore, I can't use the 'Full Ownership' thing on the thumb drive.
Not sure what to do now. I am stuck.
P.S. This 'ish never happened on Windows 7. Thanks Obama.
