I just installed a new SSD. I removed my HDD and installed my OS on the SSD. Now everytime i click on anything it seems it ask me for permissions to run. It didnt do this on my old drive. I am the only account on the drive so not sure why its doing it. Also, im using the old HDD as a storage drive and just booting from the SSD.

I just wanna give permanent permissions so it stops asking me everytime.

Are you referring to UAC? You can turn that off by going to Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings.

If you are clicking on files that are asking for permissions - right click on your hard drive, click properties, click on the security tab, then click advanced. Click on the "owner" tab, and where it says, "change owner to:", it should have your user account in there. Click on edit, then click on your user name. Make sure to place a check mark in "replace owner on subcontainers and objects".

So it has Administrator Username-PC and just Username-PC. Which would i choose.
