Yes, it is a dual booting envinronment.
I was actually looking for a way to transfer the access rights from one
system to another, or one user to another.
Currently the only thing that works on my system is:
In the properties dialog of a file click Advanced button, Details and then
Add another user.

Unfortunately this applies to the current file only and is not available to
all files in a folder and its subfolders :(

I tried with cipher /x.
The export command completed successfully.
I imported the file into another account, but I still cannot read files from
there.
Should I make changes to local security Policies?
Currently in the security options there is a sitting:
System cryptography. Force strong key protection for user keys stored on
this computer = User must enter a password each time they use a key.

Maby I'll continue using the Run as... command :)
