    Most efficient way to share a folder between two Windows 10 laptops


    Hi there
    In theory provided the computers on the LAN have folders designated as SHARED then no problems ---just use Windows explorer==>network click on the remote computers's drives and paste the file.

    However a lot of us have problems with Windows 10 computers seeing other W10 computers in networking -- seems currently very hit and miss although W7 and XP machines on my network have no problems.

    Ms need seriously to sort W10 networking out -- the problem seems that it *might* work on some machines but fails on other seemingly identical or very similar machines and no amount of tweaking seems to make any difference in getting the wretched stuff to work properly.

    So Good Luck --in theory should be easy !!!

    Cheers

    After adding the folder to the Homegroup and restarting the host laptop, the share is now working.
