Windows Central Question

My old hard drive broke, got a new one and just installed Windows 10.
I have no old files to recover or anything, but I installed a couple of games that I know have files in the Documents folder and there is nothing there. It says that the folder is empty, along with every other folder I open.

I have read a few forums and tried some things they suggested. I've went to the folder's properties, deselected Read-Only, applied and saved it, but I every time I open the properties up it has Read-Only selected again..

I've also went Properties - Sharing - Share... - and then added Everyone to the list, hit Share, hit done.

Nothing worked, so I'm hoping someone here can help? Thanks!
