So i have a laptop, "Beast" that i have had for nearly 2 years, and a desktop I just finished building, "Beauty".
So I have some files on beast i want to transfer to beauty before i take beast in to be serviced by geek squad. mostly just some video files, documents, and photos. I do have flash drive but I really want to be able to transfer directly, for reference. So i bought a crossover cable and plugged it in. seemed simple, just open windows explorer and click and drag files from one computer to the other. but i am getting issues, saying i dont have permission to transfer the files, so i tried getting on the desktop (beauty), but it wont let me open beast, it says i need permission, but it doesnt ask for a password or tell me how to give this permission?
I am running the same version of windows (windows 7) on both, and I am in the admin account on both.
I am not sure where the issue is or even if it will work.
