Yeah, it does. This new laptop, is it brand new or a corporate refurb?
I ask because I could tell something was amiss when you couldn't see App Data, even though your Explorer settings were correct. Someone has made a pig's ear of the Advanced Security Permissions here and blocked 'Modify' (which is why you can't overwrite) but left 'Write' and 'Delete' with full permissions.
It’s a refurb. Only paid $200 for it. Yea, there seems to be a lot of screwy things with this laptop. Taken me a couple of days to get it set up so I could use it if I had to.
Advanced Security Permissions in Windows or Firefox?
