Windows 10: Admin share c$

Ages ago, one could remotely access any computer connected on the same LAN.
One could simply go to Start \ Run, and enter \\computername\c$. With Windows 8 & 10, that does not seem to be an option.

In short, if I am at home with multiple computers connected to a LAN (or WIFI), and I want to copy data from one computer to another, besides a USB thumb drive and such, what's the better way?

Thanks in advance

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
