Windows 10 help
Hello. I've just changed my operating system from Mac OS X to Windows 10. I'm getting accustomed to most features, but some things remain unclear. The biggest challenge I face is managing folders. After upgrading, I moved my OS from the original 250GB SSD to a new 500GB SSD. I transferred most of my games there, keeping a few on the smaller drive for extra space. I installed Apex Legends on the 250GB drive and kept Titanfall 2 on the 500GB drive to have room. But when I tried to play Titanfall 2, none of my games or settings saved. Every time I quit, I had to restart and start over, and the settings disappeared. After learning about Windows Secure Folder Access, I enabled it and added Titanfall 2 to the list of apps that can manage folders. That helped play the game smoothly. I then decided not to keep it active for future games. Now my Apex Legends settings still don’t save, and my chatting app can’t download files to my laptop, meaning both are struggling with folder access. I’ve shared this guide with others, but they’re having similar issues. I’m finding it tough to adapt to Windows’ quirks. Any advice for someone new to Windows? Thanks a lot.
I used macrium reflect to relocate the drives. After resetting, I restored my OS to the 250g drive and formatted the 500g drive. Windows was set up via settings—restore this PC, restore while preserving files. I reinstalled Apex Legends, which saved my previous configurations. However, when trying to apply new settings, they still fail to save. I’m confused about what’s happening. Thanks for your response. What might be causing this? As mentioned before, I’ve essentially reset everything yet the problem persists. Appreciate your help.
You're using a Windows laptop with a Samsung 7 force, and you're noticing that settings aren't changing much—just a small adjustment in the controls. Your focus is on understanding exactly what's behind this issue.
You're wondering what went wrong with using Macrium Reflect. Did you choose image or cloning? Image takes longer but is faster when moving across several systems. Cloning copies everything, even deleted data, without any error fixing. Many people mix up the terms "cloning" and "imaging." Some click "clone" instead of selecting imaging, or the software pretends to clone. If you don’t need to re-download games, consider installing Windows clean—update drivers, then copy files via paste. For multiple drives, redirect Steam or Epic Store game folders to the new drive. When launching a game like Steam and installing it, it verifies file integrity, applies updates, installs missing files, and registers the game without re-downloading.
