  1. How do I set up a home network in Windows 10?


    I have a simple home setup: a main computer with three external drives. I recently got a laptop in another room in my house, and I want to be able to share files, but I just can't figure it out!When I click on "Network" on the main computer, I can see my router, my Smart TV four times, for some reason and something called "ADR-PW05LVKF", with an icon that looks like a computer. When I click on it, it asks me for "network credentials", a User Name and a password, which I don't have.On the laptop, same thing.Li'l help?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
