Win 7 and Win 10 on network

I have home network with separate modem, router, and WAP's. My Windows 7 computer does NOT list the Windows 10 computers on network computer list but the Windows 10 computers network list DO list the Windows 7 computer.

Turned off firewalls, gave permissions, shared drives. Nothing allows Win 7 computer to access the Win 10 computers.

Any suggestions for a fix?

 

Network between Win 10 and Win 11 computers

Some help, please. With respect to Win 10 to Win 11 machine, I've tried all of the suggestions shown here: Enter network credentials error on Windows 11/10 [Fixed] (thewindowsclub.com)

 

Win 11 computers cannot network but Win 10 can

I have 3 desktop computers that I need on my home network. Initially, Computer 1 has Win 10 Pro, Computer 2 has Win 10 Pro, and Computer 3 has Win 11 Pro. All three talked to each other, shared files etc.

I then upgraded Computer 2 to Win 11 Pro.

Now, Computer 1 (Win 10) can communicate with Computer’s 2 (Win 11 Pro) and 3 (Win 11 Pro) and Computer’s 2 and 3 can also communicate with Computer 1, but I cannot get Computer’s 2 and 3 (Both Win 11 Pro) to communicate. The only change made was the upgrade on Computer 2 so it’s likely the problem.

I have tried everything I can find to try:

1. Clear all credentials from Credential Manager
   
2. Disable Credential Manager Service automatic Startup
   
3. Turn off password-protected sharing
   
4. Modify Local Security Policy
   
5. Add the credentials in Credentials Manager
   
6. Set IP address to automatic
   
7. Change Network Profile to Private
   
8. SMB Direct checked
   
9. SMB 1.0/CIFS Client checked
   
10. All three boxes checked under SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support checked and unchecked
    

Most procedures are repeated on most web sites and I still get the Credential required screen.

I’m considering reverting back to Win 10 Pro on computer 2 as a last resort.
