    I'm having some issues with my dual boot system right now and was wondering if anyone here could give me some tips to try.

    I have windows 7 and 10 installed on two seperate SSDs in my precision 6700, I was in windows 7 and went under the control panel and clicked on the 10 hard drive to access a file I have stored there. It asked me if I wanted permanent access to this folder and I clicked yes. Anyways when I closed windows 7 I did a force shut down by mistake, the folder that was still open was the folder in the windows 10 hard drive. Now when I boot into 10 and log in it says it didn't recognize me and puts me in a default user account. The boot mode is set to legacy and secure boot is off. what can I do to fix this?

    You probably need to modify the ownership of the files on the second hard drive back to the user account on that disk.
