Windows 10: home network

I have 2 laptops and 2 desktops, all running Windows 10. My desktop and laptop run 10 Home. My husband's laptop and desktop run 10 Pro.

All belong to the same workgroup. No homegroup is set up. When I select "View network computers and devices" on any of the computers,

all I see are the shared "Media Devices" of the other computers, none of the files I have shared on these computers. I would like to be able to move or copy a document from one computer to another on my home network. I know there are other ways to do this like using/plugging a USB stick or placing the document on the cloud, but it seems to me like I ought to be able to see the shared member files of my network workgroup computers basically as if they were other drives on my computer. It ought to be easy. Instead it seems impossible. I have enabled file and printer sharing on all and have set the Private, Public, and All network properties the same through Settings on each. I'm running out of ideas and am just about to give up trying to do what years and years ago I had no trouble doing with a couple Macs. I have no trouble printing to either of our 2 Brother printers from any of the computers. Internet works on all. Mystified.

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
