Windows 10: Can't See Wife's Files

I am using my wife's notebook. I changed the login to my name. Now I see all the files, etc I have created, but none of the old files. I don't recall that account user name either. When I login, the login screen is not showing other accounts. It goes directly to mine. Note, I did not change the account password. So we are using the original pwd, but with my name as the user name.

What have I done and can I get to her files?

Local network access

This didn't really help; I know HOW to do it, but it isn't working. I did use your reply as a reference, and double checked everything. I all appears to be set up correctly, and it works sometimes and from some computers.

From my Wife's desktop computer, I can see all of the other computers/laptops and can access their files.

From the 3D printer Laptop I can't even see my wife's desktop, but I can see my main laptop and sometimes I can even access the document files.

From my main laptop I can see my wife's computer in HomeGroup, but not in Windows Explorer. I can see the 3D printer laptop, but most of the time I can't access files. Sometimes the 3D printer laptop shows up on the explorer menu, but when I try to access
the files, it says it doesn't exist. Yet, I am connected to it using Remote Desktop with no problems.

 

Not showing DCIM folder in digital cameras

I'm having the same issue with a Nikon D700 and a Nikon D5100. I was able to download the files just fine on my wife's computer which has Windows 8 but can't see the DCIM folder on my computer with Windows 10.

 

Right click on the start icon, click on Command (Admin). Enter:
net users

What user accounts get listed?

Also, what folders show up under C:\Users?

 

I get
User accounts for \\MARSHALL-HP

Under Administrator appears
Marshall
The command completed successfully

 

Then that is the only user account on the computer. If Marshall, Default, and Public are the only folders under C:\Users, then that is all there is. How did you change the login to your name? When you delete a user account, it also deletes the files created by that user.

I would start looking for a florist to buy some flowers from....

 

I think you are RIGHT.
I have found one of her old files in C:\Users\Marshall\Documents

Still looking
One hope to yet search .... she NEVER cleans her email sent/received files
It may be there because she did send it
