    2 computers sharing information


    I think I have very good 'basic' computers skills, but I've never gotting into networking stuff. I have 2 desktops in my house and have one with windows 10 pro now and I'm upgrading the other one to 10 also. I've never tried this before but I'm wanting to know can I have these 2 computers set up where I can get/look for files on one computer while I'm on the other?
    Tks!

    :)

    Folder sharing across 2 computers

    I think homegroup is there for people who know nothing about computers. It's virtually useless unless you use your default folders on C drive which no one should. No option to login to other computer. Thanks.

    Folder sharing across 2 computers

    Wired

    Yes

    Home

    A different drive (folders are on more than 1 drive but nit C drive)

    Don't need to check.

    Yes. Permission to everyone and full control.

    Yes. Administrator.

    not read only

    It's a new computer. Have installed many programs. I do not believe it is a conflict.

    Just the one I mentioned. Network error You do not have permission to access this folder. Contact network admin.

    I had the same issue with my old laptop about a year ago. Somehow it fixed itself.

    2 computers sharing information

    It is the same way since XP for Network Shares & 7 for Homegroups or Network shares. Nothing has changed.

    My experience - I tried homegroup and it is very easy to set up - but it shared a whole bunch of stuff I didn't want shared so I do it manually by right clicking on the specific folder I want to share, properties, sharing tab, advanced sharing option, then permissions or something like that.
