  2. Windows 10: Enter Network Credentials Username and Password for a computer that already has "no password required sharing is enabled"

    Of course there is still the problem of accessing files on another network computer with password protection active.

    My previous posts apply when "Turn off password protected sharing" is set in Advance sharing. With W10 set to use password protection, no user, password combination on W7 works. Not W10 passwords nor W7 passwords.

    On the other hand, W10 does get access to the W7. I use the W10 user pass and get access to everything shared on W7. Not intuitive, and the sharing computer is not protected by entering the inquiring computer's password. It may be protected by the User
    Group password, but that is visible on multiple computers and may have been printed out or copied down many times.

    I do not understand what user pass is required or where it is verified or how to set it when password protected sharing is set to "on".

  3. Windows 10 Install problems

    I want to thank everyone who responded; seems like Microsoft did not do a good job of making the w7 upgrade to w10 a seamless and easy process.

    And that is very frustrating if your trying to get all types of devices to run W10. Maybe that's why Google's Chromebooks , are taking market share at the low end of the scale but I would think that they will just move up and feed.

    Again,

    thanks, and I am very disappointed in Microsoft for making this difficult.
