No Permission to open folders and files

Hello
I used this WD My Book P/N WDBACW0030HBK-01 for years with Windows 7.
Now I installed Windows 10 and I have permission problems opening folders, and opening files on my external WD My Book:
“You Don’t currently have permission to access this folder”.
In some folders which I can open, the files can’t be used/ Most of it is Audio files, and it can’t be played.

The drive security sais that everyone has full control.
I have WD SmartWare.exe, and WD Quick Formatter.exe on the drive, but it can’t be run.

Hi,

I’m not expert on permissions, others have had trouble going from one OS the another or from one computer to another.

Have you checked the actual permissions of the folders and files? In case your not familiar, open the folders with Right Click and then Properties and Security. You need to have check marks under Allow for your login username. You might have to use the Advanced button too. Usually if you are logged in as Administrator you are permitted for everything.
