Windows 10: Brand New Dell Computers with Windows 10 Pro. will not share Files

I purchased 2 brand new Dell Computers with Windows 10 Pro. I can not get them to share Files. I can see both computers on the network, but can not view files. These computers were purchased for my business, plus I other expensive programs that must share files. WE have tried everything under the sun. Tomorrow, I'm calling Dell. If this problem is not resolved, the computers are going back to dell and Quick Books software to Intuit. I will then purchase new Apple Computer and other supporting software to process sales and financial software. Nor only am I frustrated, I'm disappointed and need to find resolve. For a small business owner, It's costing me too much time and money.

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

Windows 10 Pro or Windows 8 Pro from Windows 7 Pro ?


Just replaced motherboard on my old Dell D830 that I had upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro last August.

Went through steps on setting up new MOBO and it is up/working just fine.

I happened to run Belarc Advisor just to get a snapshot of data for the file. What is interesting is that Belarc indicates the O/S is Windows 8 Pro (build 9200).

I looked at another recent thread here at TenForums and also took some of the steps suggested and figured that maybe I needed to install or re-install Windows 10. I checked the Update/Security/Activation tab and it indicates that Windows 10 Pro is installed, activated with a digital entitlement.

So ... why does Belarc seem to see only Windows 8 Pro? Maybe because of the "maturity" of the D830? I know that Dell has disclaimers at their site that says the D830 has not been certified for Windows 10.

So, it is working, but the data from Belarc just has me scratching my head.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

 

File and Printer Sharing Between Vista and Windows 10

Hi,

To share a folder in Windows Vista, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• Ensure that file sharing is enabled as described in the Enabling File and Printer Sharing Options section of this article.
• Click Start, and then click Computer.
• In the Computer window, navigate to the folder containing the folder that you want to share.
• Right-click the folder that you want to share, and then click Share. The
  File Sharing window is displayed.
• If you have password protected sharing enabled, use the File Sharing window to select which users can access the shared folder and their permission level. To allow all users, select
  Everyone in the list of users. By default, the permission level for a selected user is Reader. Users cannot change files or create new files in the share. To allow a user to change files or folders or create new files or folders, select Co-owner
  as the permission level. Figure 5 shows an example of configuring users and permission levels in the
  File Sharing window.
  
  If you have password protected sharing disabled, use the File Sharing window to select the Guest or Everyone account. This is equivalent to simple file sharing in Windows XP.
  
• When complete, click Share, and then click Done.

Hope the above information helps.
