Windows 10: a few Windows 10 questions

Hi, I bought a Mini PC AWOW Desktop Computer Intel Celeron N3450 Windows 10 last weak to do Windows things on after only owning Macs since 2012. Really liking it so far, but did have a couple questions was hoping you guys could help me out with.

1. The first was trying to share a folder. I was trying to share a folder in my Documents and it'd share the entire User directory instead. No matter what I did it kept sharing that directory. I'd try to not share that one, but once I went back to share the folder inside it, it'd share it again. Couldn't find a solution to it. I remember coming across this issue way back when but don't remember what I did.
2. My next question is hooking up my Pawtec Luxury Slim External USB 3.0 Aluminum 6X BDXL 3D Blu-Ray Writer/Burner drive. Tried to do that this morning but didn't have any luck. On my 2012 iMac it picks it up just fine. Is there any drivers I should load to get it going? I looked at their site but didn't see anything obvious. Or am I just out of luck here? Would like to test ripping some bluray/dvds on the Mini PC haha.
3. My final question is do you guys have any free or cheap Remote Desktop software I should use? Been a while and before I think I just bought the Pro version which had it backed in. My Google searching failed me there haha.

Hopefully you guys can help me out. Looking forward to your replies!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
