Hello. I have a new laptop which I have upgraded to windows 11. When I copy my phones sd card I can't copy it on to my external hard drive. It says the folder is write protected. If I check the properties I can uncheck the write protection but when I try to copy again it is checked again. I have looked for a solution but it is beyond my knowledge. I can't use registry editor. I would probably format the laptop. Is there a patch or update I can download. Please help. james6string.

😕 It ran, I undid write protection on a folder and applied, it looked good. I checked the properties after and the write protection was still ticked. Anything else? Please help. Thank you again.
