Windows 10: Configuring Network Storage in Explorer after upgrade from win7

I have a LAN with 3 Pc's all running win7 connected. The LAN switch also connects the internet modem and 3 network attached stores for various data types (media, backups) that - because of the LAN - are independently accessible from any of the PC's. All of the NAS devices are mapped into windows explorer on each PC for ease of use: using standard copy and paste methods to get files from on-PC to NAS, or vice versa, just worked. But the NAS devices had to be visible to explorer on any PC when explorer opened for that to happen.

This topic revisits one I raised some months ago concerning configuring the LAN from a clean win10 install, and I abandoned the effort because the reply detail was simply inadequate to use, and follow up questions were not answered. Maybe the forum experts thought I was just dumb, but not answered. The further details below will explain that. I am hoping that this time there will be a more complete response, in detail.

Upgrading to windows 10 from 7
method 1 - the MS preferred way - an in-place upgrade on the desktop machine. This carried over all the NAS settings in windows explorer, and under win10, I could access the NAS devices as I previously had. The internet was also available.

HOWEVER altho win 10 ran, this method broke my video studio editing applications, and as I use these extensively, on a daily basis (apart from windows , the email package and a browser, the most used applications on the machine) this method wasn't acceptable.

method 2 - a clean install. I know from other Video Studio users that a clean install runs the video studio applications successfully. So I tried the clean install approach. And this method completely disconnected the upgraded PC from any of the network stores on the LAN. The internet via the LAN was available.

And in this condition, I could not, NOT find a way to configure the NAS stores so that they could be even seen by explorer, let alone function as mapped drives. Everything I tried had missing steps, questions about this or that went unanswered. But I know it can be done under win10 because the in-place upgrade method had it just right. So, not acceptable, reverted win7, where it all works fine.

Trying again: configuring networked storage under win10
Is there a detailed procedure for configuring a LAN-based network storage device so that it can operate as a mapped drive in windows explorer???

Windows 10, Start menu and Explorer Quick Access configuration.

Hello,

I come from an Upgrade of Win7 to Win 10 Pro (Desktop PC using mouse and keyboard).

1) Start menu: How can I create subfolders within the menu left or right in the panel? How can I changed the alphabetic list to a self configured sorted one?

In Win7 I have had a very big sorted structure of all installed programs under Program and its folders with subfolders and there subfolders. Now all is in a terrible confusing alphabetic list.

( I.e in you can see now:

uninstall

uninstall

uninstall

uninstall

for different programs.) Also, the panel is really to small to get all my folders and programs grouped there

2) Windows Explorer - Quick Access configuration?

In Win7 the "quick access" I had configured with a lot of own settings. Rename Entries without changing the real folder name. Add some network accessed subfolders. The quick access in Win 10 is also completely terrible. No change I can do make now. Renaming
the link will rename the real folder to! Network subfolders can no more added. Microsoft has make the things much worse in there default settings. How can I fix this?

Many thanks for an explained answer?
