Can't copy from external hard drive to new PowerSpec G231
I have thousands of pictures backed up on a couple external hard drives. Those backed up on my ancient iomega Prestige external hard drive copy to my new solid state hard drive with no problem. Those backed up on my new Seagate won't copy at all. The copy process looks like it starts, but never begins the copy process. This Seagate external hard drive works perfectly well on my other laptops. Might be a Windows 11 problem?

Greetings,
Are you using a specific software to move the files, or just copy/pasting (aka dragging and dropping) the files?

In that type of situation usually what you run into is permissions issues with the files from another PC, owned by another user. What happens if you copy just a single file off?
