Win 7 and Win 10 Home Network Oddity

Hey noquiexis,
I see you gave up and marked this solved, but one last suggestion you could try ... If you're fairly confident it's not a Share/NTFS permission issue and/or Firewall Issue ... on your Win10 PC go to Control Panel > Credentials Manager > Windows Credentials and see if the Win7 PC is listed and if it is, are it's credentials correct (i.e. network address, username, password). If it's not listed you can add it manually and see if that resolves your issue.
