Restored the user's files from a Win 7 computer made with Backup & Restore tool to a new Windows 10 computer using same tool. Attempting to open any yields a "you do not have permission" error. The username on the old system was "User" and on the new system she is "Louise".
We did not recreate the user called "User" on the new system; we restored alongside her "Louise" folder and will drag/drop them into the respective folders under her name.
Is it safe to do recursive takeown operation on all except the AppData folder ?
The AppData I imagine should not be overwritten, but pick and choose what may need to be moved?
