Laptop acting strange after trying to transfer files from laptop HDD to main desktop PC

First of all, while there are various ways to copy data from a laptop's HDD/SSD to another PC, the safest & most straightforward way (IMO) is to use a USB external HDD (or SSD) to copy the desired files from the laptop's drive to the HDD/SSD installed in a USB external enclosure; then simply connect the USBEHD apparatus to the desktop's USB port and use that arrangement to copy the files over to the desktop's HDD.

It is highly desirable for virtually EVERY PC user to have a USBEHD that can be utilized in the future so that the enclosed drive can be used as a destination drive for the cloned contents of his/her PC so as to maintain a comprehensive backup system. It's something you should not neglect. The additional cost involved in purchasing a USB external enclosure + a HDD is not terribly expensive.

By & large it is generally not a good idea to remove the HDD from a laptop, install the drive in the desktop PC and attempt the copying function that way. While it can be successfully done there are various pitfalls that can occur that can adversely affect the laptop's drive data (as well as the desktop PC's drive). Transfer of data via the USB method noted above is the way to go.

I cannot access the .png screenshot you indicated. It's difficult, if not impossible for me to understand the precise problem you're experiencing. I can't tell whether this involves corruption of data or some other problem.

FYI, we don't have access to your local c drive. upload to imgur and post the link

First of all I cannot access the .png screenshot since the link does not allow access to your drive that contains the image.'

Secondly, I'm not at all sure what significant value it will be to me anyway to help diagnose your problem, let alone resolve it.

It probably would be best if you could CLEARLY explain the PRECISE problem you're dealing with in order for me, or anyone, to truly understand what IS the problem. When you state things like " Also as I was copying some documents into the "All folders" folder, it was asking for "permissions" something that hasn't happened before." - this is virtually useless information for an "outsider" to understand your problem. You simply have to clearly and in detail explain your problem in reasonably simple-to-understand terms before anyone can provide you with a useful "plan-of-action" to resolve the problem(s).

I honestly don't know why you're experiencing this problem. Transferring (moving or copying files) from a laptop's drive to a drive installed in a desktop PC is a routine uncomplicated operation (or should be one). Why you're getting involved in this "permissions" business is incomprehensible (at least to me). There's virtually no likelihood that your PCs will be adversely affected because of some malicious software unless the file(s) you're transferring contain viruses or malware of one type or another. I assume you have installed an A-V program and possibly other anti-malware types of programs on your PCs.
