Windows 10: Can I share a folder on win7 to win 10 is this possible ?

Is it possible to share a drive on windows 7 and have it be connected to on windows 10. I mapped a network drive on windows 7 and my other windows 7 can see it. On both windows 7 computers I did not touch dum homegroup I started a network and I did not choose work or public I choose home it gave me a number to write down - I did not use homegroup. But maybe the problem is that I used home when I should have used WORK maybe home is the same as homegroup ??? When we choose work does it give a number to write down ?
anyway
I made folder named stow then I mapped a network drive named z I can connect to it on my other win 7 but windows 10 just knows that I know the Network Credentials
IT thinks that I have setup a name and a password for my share.
EVEN THOUGH i have gone through all the 3 things to get rid of the windows security things
I got rid of network credentials manager but did nothing
Push Win Key and type "Services", locate those services, start them and set Start type to Automatic.
Services are:
- Function Discovery Provider Host
- Function Discovery Resource Publication
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
I did all these things.

So far I have spend about 4 hours fiddling and searching and I wonder how many hours total everyone has spent trying to get past this. ohh --yes I have 1803
So maybe instead of asking how to get rid of the enter network credentials in order to access my mapped drive I will just ask :

IS IT POSSIBLE to share a folder on windows 7 and have it be accessed on a windows 10 ver 1803 machine if so HOW ?

Win 7 PC can't see shared folder of Win 10 PC

I have small home network. The Home Group sharing capabilities are working both ways.

For some reason the Win 10 PC do not appear in the network list in my Win 7 PC, while the Win 7 PC do appear in the Win 10 network list (and can access it's shared folders).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Map Windows 7 Shared Folder to Win 95

Okay ... I have a shared folder on a Win7 Pro machine.
The machine is located on a domain.
I want to map the folder on a Win 95 machine, which is not on the domain.
(I cannot update the OS of the 95 machine, it's a CNC)

This works fine if I try to map to a XP Pro machine, but the connection will not authenticate when trying to get to the Win 7 machine.

I tried setting the LMCompatibilityLevel registry key to "1" on the 7 machine, but that did not help.
The Win 95 computer tells me that I need a password to make the connection, but no passwords work.

I d/l'ed DSClinet9x and Windows 2.0 Installer for the 95 machine, but now it wants IE4 *Bang Head :banghead:

Any thoughts?
