Acronis WD ed., win7 backup restored to win8 with Acronis 2013 problems

Thread needs solution

Many (most, all?) of the backup[ files I restored to my new computer are not accessible. Some just require and OK in AC dialog box but others say I don't have permission to (copy, move, delete) the file. Properties show the files as Read Only and no matter what i do i can't change the permissions. what do I do?

It's a Windows permissions issue, not an Acronis issue. You need to "take ownership" of those files (Google for instructions on that).
