    Networking Win 10 with Win 7


    I have a desktop PC and two laptops all running Win 7 and networked through my router. I'd like to upgrade one of the laptops to Win 10 as a trial starter for probable upgrade on all but do not wish to lose the network connection in the meantime. Is that going to be a problem and, if so, what can/must I do to get around it?

    Edit - Just back from hols, rushed to post query before spending time reading!! Clearly there could be problems so will stay with Win 7 for now and poss post again later.

    :)

    Win 10 not seeing network resources

    Upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. No change to the machine at all or to the network. All of the network resources available to the Win 7 machine are unavailable to the Win 10 machine. what's up with that?

    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.
