Hi NL

I to my laptop as the of my Windows 10 but whenever I try copying a file into a folder in my Local Disk, I get “Destination Folder Access Denied” and when I click Continue, I get “You need permission to perform this action” and when I click Try Again and I keep getting Try Again

I need your help guys to copy file into folders in my Local Disk

You need to take ownership of the destination folder in order to make any changes to it. To do that, make sure you are logged on as an or with an with privileges.

Right-click the destination folder and click properties. In the properties window that appears, click the security tab and click the advanced button at the bottom.

In the advanced security settings window, click the owner tab. Click the edit button in the bottom left corner and select a group or a to transfer ownership to, from the "change owner to" list.

In the bottom left corner, click the check box labelled "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects". Click OK. Accept all other confirmations when prompted.

When done, you may need to go back to the security tab of the folder and assign the required permissions to modify the folder.
