    Issue connecting to Win 7 PC from Win 10


    When on my Win 10 PC and go to Network > Win 7 PC. Instead of connecting and letting me see the shares, it gives me an "\\COMPUTERNAME is not accessible. You might not have permission..." error.


    On my Win 7 PC I have all the advanced sharing settings turned on. My Win 8 computer has no issues connecting to it.


    Any ideas?

    :)

    How to downgrade the Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Home (upgraded from Windows 7 Home)

    It means there is no way for Win 10 Pro downgrade to Win 10 home (upgrade from Win 7 Home) unless I reinstall the win 7 home then upgrade to win 10 home?

    If I do the clean install of that PC installed Win 10 Pro upgrade from Win 10 Home (upgraded from Win 7 Home) and skipped the inserting key steps then connect internet, will my PC activate automatically for Win 10 Home or Win 10 Pro?

    Incoming Connection setup in Win 10 - where is it?

    Hi, I just upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 and I had previously had an incoming connection setup for a VPN from my Server/PC so I could remotely connect in. The issue is I cannot find out how to setup an incoming connection. If I use the Win 7 approach I cannot
    get a menu through "ALT F" as under Win 7 that allows me to setup an incoming connection. Does anyone know where or how I trigger the setup for an incoming connection under Win 10?

    thanks in advance if anyone knows.

    Use Credential Manager in Ctrl Panel to set up a Windows Credential for your shares. You will need to add a username and password that can access the share.

    Ah, that would be the UAC I always turn off!

    Yep that's the one. Do you have a good link showing how to set up windows credentials for shares? I know I could google it, but you seem to know how so wanted to ask. Thanks
