I have upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 10 (final) just 2 days ago.
As I can see, all the files for Win7 are now located under C:\windows.old folder. That's great of course, but now I want to backup this folder on another HDD I have in this PC.
When I'm trying to copy this entire folder to drive E for example, I get an error message that I need to set the proper permission for this action.
As far as I can see, the current user is part of the Administrators group and should have full access to everything. That's the way it was originally on Win7 before the upgrade and I expected it to remain this way also after this upgrade.
Why am I getting this weird error message and how can I perform the action I need, as described here?
The description for TAKEOWN says "...and all files and subfolders..." and ICALCS says "All Contents". What else are "contents" besides files and folders? That is, what is the difference between TAKEOWN and ICALCS? – wrlee – 2016-05-22T02:43:05.493
@wrlee There is no difference in that respect. The all contents is a way of describing that the
/T
options means recursive (Search the pathname including all subfolders. (/TREE)
