Recover External Folder Access

Job ID: 40277735

Budget: ₹600 – ₹700 INR

I need a Windows specialist to help me regain full access to a folder of images and other files that sits on an external drive. After restricting permissions on Windows 10 for privacy, I upgraded to Windows 11, ran into performance issues, then rolled back to Windows 10 through a clean install. Since that reinstall, any attempt to open files in this particular folder throws a “You don’t have permission” error—even after I thought I had fixed similar wallpaper-related permission problems.

The task is straightforward: reset or repair the file and folder permissions on that external drive so I can read, edit, and move every item inside without errors. All work will be done over a remote session; once you finish, I’ll verify the files open normally and the permission changes persist after a reboot.
