Windows 10 You don't have permission to save

[keland]

I was using win 8.1 on my Dell Laptop without any difficulty. I upgraded to win 10 Home without any problems or so it seemed. After the install reboot and signing onto my user account I began to work as usual. I needed to transfer some pictures from my camera to the Pictures folder on my "C:" drive so I plugged in the USB cable from my camera, selected the pictures and dragged them to the new folder under C\user\myname\Pictures. That is when I got a popup window which read
"C:\users\myname\pictures You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the Administrator to obtain permission. would you like to save in the public pictures folder instead. Yes or No."
I can only save to the public folders on this computer.
I am the Administrator and I should be logged in as the Administrator. I have no other user accounts setup on this laptop and use a pin or password to get into my only user account. I have access to all the folders on my "C:" drive and I can open any file that was there before the upgrade. But I can no longer save anything to my user\folders. The same thing happens if I try to save a word doc to C:\users\myname\documents folder.
I can move files to and from all folders both within my C:\user and to a flash drive plugged into a USB on the laptop.
How and where in win 10 do I enable and give myself permission to save pictures or documents in my user account?

It sounds like permissions and/or security settings have been altered on your system. Without being able to see the system and even then it would be difficult to restore permissions and security settings especially since your admin account seems to lack the access it should. At this point it would be simpler to back up data and re-install Windows in my opinion.

Hmmm, a radical solution! I'll think about it. But thanks very much for your advice and help.
