Some reason my last post was deleted. I’ve got a crucial mx500 500GB SSD for my grandpas gateway NV55C laptop. I’ve also upgraded the CPU to a i5 and ram to 8GB. I am running into some problems transferring the old files to the new SSD. On the old drive I click my user and it says “administration permissions” and if I click continue it goes but then stops at the end.
Try doing it while having the computer booted in safe mode. Use advanced startup options to boot safe mode: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294… This may also help you too: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841…
Better yet, if you are comfortable with Linux, use the live USB of sysreccd or Ubuntu.
Use the command ‘rsync -rv –progress
