You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file

Hi,

Follow the Steps below and check if that helps.

As you are unable to transfer some files from an external hard drive to the computer requesting for Administrator permissions, I suggest you to follow the steps provided below to provide administrator permissions to the particular folder and check if it
helps.

• Right click on the folder and select
  Properties.
• Click on Edit button in Properties windows. Click ok to confirm UAC elevation request.
• Select user/group from permission windows or click
  Add to add other user or group.
• Now under Permission section check the rights which you want to grant i.e. check “Full Control” under the “Allow” column to assign full access rights control permissions. (Generally we add ‘Everyone’ to given permission to all
  the users on the computer).
• Edit the permission to Full Control for ‘Everyone’.
• Click OK for changes to take effect and click ok again to exit from Properties window.

Do let us know if you are able to transfer files to PC. Thank you.
