Explanation
NTFS permission inheritance rules differ based on the operation: when a file is moved within the same NTFS volume, it retains its original explicit permissions. However, when a file is moved to a different NTFS volume (a different disk), the operation is treated as a copy-then-delete. The copied file inherits the permissions of its new parent folder at the destination, just as a newly created file would. It does not retain source permissions, does not accumulate both sets of permissions, and permissions do not need to be set manually - they are automatically inherited from the destination folder.
