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".

 

Age of Empires 2 The Age of Kings won't work on Win 10.

I have a dual-boot machine with XP-32 (installed first) and W10 (former W7-64). So it is possible to have a dual-boot.

To do it : you have to install XP first, then W7. W7 "installs" a dual-boot menu. Thus you can choose the os you want to start with.

Then you upgrade W7 to W10. You still have the os menu choice at startup.
