Windows 10: Admin share drive

Hi,


Before when I was using windows 7 on 2 computers, I was able to access Admin Share drives "\\IP_ADDRESS\C$"

When I upgraded one of the PC to Windows 10 I can't access it anymore.


From Windows 10 to Windows 7 ==> Network Error- windows cannot access

From Windows 7 to Windows 10 ==> Network Error- windows cannot access



I followed those instructions and none of them work :

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!

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
