    I am trying to set up a Windows 10 1809 small local network of several computers so that Authenticated Users can interchange files freely.


    Several older machines are all up to date with windows 10 1803 and they can interchange files using the usual sharing mechanism (and will be updated when Microsoft decides that their turn has come ;-).


    I have just added a new machine running a fresh download of 1809 (and updated) but it cannot see shares on other machines (though they can see the new machine).


    I have enabled SMBv1 client and server on the new machine to get things going.


    I understand the security issue here and want to do the 'Right Thing' in future.


    What should I do on the existing machines to allow me to remove the use of SMBv1 and use the recommended version (SMBv3?)? I presume that I will just turn off use of SMBv1 on the new machine.


    Thank you.


    Paul

    I'll be adding a small page on doing this in windows vista soon, since XP is the same with a step or two less, i assume people will figure it out.

    Unable to browse network computers.

    We suggest creating a new administrator user account by following the steps
    here
    . Make sure to use the same network settings that you used for your other computers, then check if you can connect to the home network. Since you also mentioned that Windows 10 was freshly installed on this particular computer, have you already downloaded
    the latest updates? The latest build for Version 1607 is 14393.1715, and 15063.608 for Version 1703. You can check the build version of your computer by following these steps:

    • Click Start.
    • Type winver and press Enter.

    If you don't have the latest updates, you can follow these steps to install them:

    • Click Start.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Click Update & security.
    • Click Check for updates.

    If that doesn't work, we'd like screenshots of the network and file sharing settings of the computer that doesn't work, and the settings of one of your other computers that can connect and share files properly on the home network.

    Small Business Network

    Using the homegroup is a bad idea. IMO, it is less reliable than using traditional Windows network shares and setting up proper usernames and passwords on the "server" computer.

    For a small network like you have, I don't see a problem with using a standard Windows 7 desktop as a file server as long as it is set up properly and you have proper backups of the data. Don't rely on the single hard drive in the server computer to keep your data safe.
