So I got a new laptop, and transferred literally everything over from my old one.
then while re-organizing, i was cleaning up the stuff i didnt want anymore.
anyways, i came across this old file i downloaded (a mod tool for xbox),
when i press to delete it, it says i must run as admin, so i press okay, then delete, and it says that i require permission from my old laptop before i can make changes. (by make changes its referring to me trying to delete it.)
Is this a virus or something?
I dont understand how I can give myself permission from my old laptop, to my new one one.

Like what Zesri said, you need ownership of the drive in question.
To take ownership of a drive;
right click the drive > properties > security >
advanced > click the owner tab > edit > tick the tick box "replace owner" > select your local user profile ( the one you use to log onto the pc with ) > okay and apply everything ( this should take about 5 minutes to take ownership.
if it doesn't work then try taking ownership of the specific folder.
