Did the OP get his problem resolved?Ad Orientem wrote: Hi all. My 7 year old computer is dying and I finally broke down and got a new one yesterday. Unfortunately it has Windows 10 which I really don't like. It's confusing as hell. Anyways I managed to migrate most of my files to the new computer BUT... I am having a lot of trouble viewing the. I am constantly getting messages that say I don't have permission to view the file in question.
This is nuts. I should be able to view any file on my computer. I would have assumed the Microsoft would be intelligent enough to give administrator rights automatically to the owner of the computer. Any help would be appreciated.
I am not too tech savvy, but I am interested in whether the new PCs are any good, since I may also be in the market for a new one soon. My 6-year old laptop's battery is dead, but it still works fine as long as it's plugged in. When then day comes to replace, I have been thinking about getting a Chromebook, since they seem cheap (<$300) and easy to maintain, since there's no way to install any programs/malware. I see lots of good comments about Macs, but I'm not willing to pay the Apple Tax. Anyone have any practical experience with the Chromebooks?
