    How to view a shared folder


    30 minutes ago I finished setting up sharing folders on my PC with the Microsoft Surface Book (SB) over a WiFi network. Thanks for you excellent tutorial How to Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10. I set up a folder to share, but I don't know how to navigate to it on the SB.

    TIA for your help.
