Win 10 Pro NAS file copy issue

Hello

The other day I decided to do a fresh install of Windows and upgraded from Home to Pro. The issue I now have wasn't present on Win 10 Home and I'm hoping one of you smart people can tell me that I'm missing something obvious.

I have a Synology NAS and I've mapped some drives and I can copy files to the NAS without an issue but when I try to copy a file from the NAS to my C drive, the only drive I currently have installed as I'm waiting for a NVME drive to arrive, I get the following error. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be most grateful. I don't fancy reinstalling Windows 10 Home to sort this but if that turns out to be my only option I may have to do so.

Remap the drives, could just be that the stored passwords for the map disappeared in the upgrade.

Try mapping that drive again and returning the credentials for the nas share.

No, that hasn't worked. When I do try to copy from the NAS to the C: drive, Windows brings up a box saying I need to provide admin permission to copy then it gives the error. This is to the root of C:. I just discovered that if I try to copy to a folder on the C: drive it works fine.

If that's how it stays I can live with that but it is a bit strange.

Seen this myself, better keeping it today in folders rather than on root C:\ anyway.

Thanks for your help guys, I can now live with how it is.
