    Can't see my W10 laptop from my W7 desktop since I have done updates


    Hi all Can't see my W10 laptop from my W7 desktop since I have done updates :)

    Until today, I was able to see my W10 laptop from my W7 desktop, and transfer files from the Dtop to the Ltop w/o issue.

    I have just run Windows update on the laptop, which I had not done in forever, and now, when trying to access the Ltop, I get this:

    I can still see my second W7 Dtop from the first, so this must be a W10/Ltop issue.

    I was hoping someone can guide me here, as I have no idea where to start looking.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    W7 to W10 upgrade

    I have tried to upgrade to W10 home premium from my 64-bit W7 home premium operating system on my laptop. I checked that I meet all requirements and have tried everything anyone ever suggested. I wasted 2 days in December 2015, and still failed.

    I had no problem in March 2016 upgrading my desktop W7 Ultimate to W10, so I thought I might try again to upgrade my W7 home premium.

    I have now wasted another 2 days in March trying to upgrade the laptop. Either it is a problem with my laptop that the Windows Update Trouble-Shooter does not find, or W7 Home Premium (64) will not upgrade to W10. I give up.

    Can't revert from W10 to W7

    Hi. Sony don't have any updated drivers for Windows 10 on my laptop (bought with Windows 7 installed) nor do they intend to provide any. I've been on their website and they don't list my laptop never mind about drivers for it (Vaio VPCS11X9E running W7 Professional)

    My problem is that in W10 my screen is very dark and difficult to work with. This is why I want to revert back to Windows 7. I understood that I could do this within a month but when I go to the 'revert' screen I get the message

    'We're sorry but you can't go back. The files we need to take you back to a previous version of Windows were removed from this PC'

    All I've done so far is follow the instructions! Help!

    Will I have to do a clean rebuild? If so how do I get hold of a W7 system disc? I'm no geek and getting very worried...
