    Network a wndows 7 desktop with a windows 10 laptop


    New to this stuff... Can someone detail what has to be done to each PC step by step so that I can share files, printer etc between the systems? The desktop has a wired connection to the router and the laptop is using wifi. Desktop is windows 7 home.

    thanks


    :)

    Cannot connect from a Networked Win 7 PC to a Win 10 Laptop

    I have 2 networked Laptops, one is a Win 10, one a Win 7, and a networked Win 7 PC.

    I am unable to connect from Win 7 Desktop to a Windows 10 Laptop but I can go the other way.

    Status:

    Win 7 Laptop to Win 10 Laptop is OK.

    Win 10 Laptop to Win 7 Laptop is OK.

    Win 10 Laptop to Win 7 Desktop is OK.

    Win 7 Desktop to Win 10 Laptop is NO GO.

    I do not know whether it is a Win 10 Laptop or a Win 7 Desktop problem. All use the same Homegroup. I am the only user; there are no other accounts on any of the machines.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Files, folders, & storage

    thanks but that stuff is way to complex for me and it refers to windows 8 not 7 and 10

    It is not that complex. Sharing folders or Libraries is just a couple of clicks. 7,8,10 work somewhat fine with Homegroups. Regular File Sharing is a lot easier to do, since it is just Right click on the folder you want, or just allow sharing from the Public folders only.

    If you are planning on streaming music and videos, get a NAS.
