Windows 10: New home network wish to change access from everyone to individual

Hi all I've setup a home network with my Desktop PC (It did have a redundant network with old laptop a couple of years back) and new laptop both Win 10. it all works ok but I would like to change share permissions from Everyone to just the other (one) computer. I have tried to find each computer but I am not able to. I have tried to under "Network Access" add the name also I have tried ip address from ipv4 but no good but I might not have the syntax correct. I tried \\ip address\ and \\ip address\computer name\ Maybe I need to put in a user name and password but I have under Sharing options/All Networks selected "Turn off password protected sharing"
Thanks in advance for any input to this.

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
