    NAS not accessible with Windows10pro, but with Win7, why?


    I have brought my PC to "Windows10 pro" from "Win7". Unfortunately, I can not mount my NAS. Anpingen goes, Over HTTP I can also retrieve some data. When I try to mount the drive, I get an error message. In the network it is, as icon, also not visible.

    From my laptop, which still has WIN7, I can connect the NAS and have full access.

    Can someone explain this to me?

    :)

    Windows 10 & NAS Box

    Hi Peter,

    A few possible reasons can cause this issue. To help us identify the cause of this problem, we would like to know the following information:

    • How is your NAS box connected to your computer? (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB)
    • Are you using a program provided by the manufacturer of your NAS box to access it?
    • Do you receive any error messages when accessing your NAS box? If yes, what is the exact error message?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you perform the solution provided by omiklik (Most Helpful Reply)

    Network attached storage (NAS)

    OKAY... I get the laptop thru all the updates by using the troubleshooter. Now I still cannot see my NAS in file explorer BUT there is one file listed in quick access that is on the NAS. If I open file location I can see everything on the NAS (WOOHOO)
    but if I close file explorer and reopen it the NAS does not appear(?).

    I am sure there is a small tweak that needs to be made but at least if I don't loose the quick access I will be able to access my files.

    One step forward!!!!

    Thanks,

    Len

    p.s. still working on the desktop NAS not accessible with Windows10pro, but with Win7, why? :(

    NAS not accessible with Windows10pro, but with Win7, why?

    Should I go for a NAS?

    1. How many PC's need access to the data?
    2. Are you streaming data to TV's or mobile devices?
    3. Do you need to access the data whilst the PC is off

    If you are not thinking of any of the above I would suggest that 8TB of storage On the PC and sufficient Backup Space external to it would be fine, and more cost effective.

    If you are intending any of the above and especially Number 3 then a NAS looks more appropriate
