Permissions issues. Help please!

I´ve recently built a new pc and wanted to copy all my files from my old hdd to my new one, but it didn´t work. The problem is that I copied all my photos, music and videos/films, also my word-documents and my pdf-documents. (right click---copy, open folder in the new hdd and right click----paste). I can open any photo, music or video from my NEW hdd.However, when I try to open any word-document or pdf-document from my NEW hdd it says that I don´t have "access privileges". How can I solve this so I can open ANY file in my new pc??

Try to do an ownership change using Admin privilages. Do you need steps for this?

1. Right click the Folder you have the saved files on and click properties.

2. Go to Security Tab.

3. Click Advanced Tab and you'll see Owner.

4. Click Change owner and enter SYSTEM. Click ok and have the computer apply changes.

I don't see "change owner"

By the way, I just realised the following. 

I can copy those documents on my ssd which has my os(windows 10) in this new pc. I can open them from there, but even if I copy it from my new ssd to my new hdd and I try to open it from my new hdd it doesn't work. The problem are the permissions with my new hdd. In addition, when I try to give "total control" to my my new hdd, it says "access denied" with every single document......what can I do?

Really? What? Hmm... That's odd. Did you digitally sign the documents?

noo

What I´ve found is:

it says I have total control but when I actually enter de folder and check the security properties of any of them it says: "You must have read permissions to view the properties of this object. click advanced options to continue". Therefore, I click in advanced options and says again:  "You must have read permissions to view the properties of this object, Click continue to view the properties with administrative permissions" THEN I click continue and........... "You don´t have permission to view and edit settings permissions from this object"

And this only happens with word, pdf files. It didn´t happen with neither photos nor music nor videos.

I'm at a total loss to what else can be causing the problem.
