    sharing files between W7 & W10 pc's


    I have literally spent a full week trying to get my W7 & W10 pc's sharing. I have read thru dozens of online articles, none of which are helpful. I don't want to share individual files & folders... I want to share everything between these two pc's as I transition from W7 to W10. Yet, I still can't share a SINGLE file! Every online explanation ends with "access shared files on target pc". OK - Fine. But, HOW does one do that? These online tutorials never explain that last step... how to access shared files. Simply stating "access shared files on target pc" doesn't explain how to do that. Can anyone provide a simple, straight-forward way to share?

    :)

  2. W7 access of W10 share

    On my home network W10 systems can access shares on other W10 systems, and W10 can access W7 shares. However, when W7 tries to access a W10 share, it wants a network password. I give it the user/pswd I use to log in on the W10 but that doesn't help.

    I found one place:
    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/cannot-access-shared-folder-windows
    that suggested setting HKLM...Lsa\restrictanonymous to 1
    but that didn't seem to help.

    TIA!

  3. W10 + W7 network

    I have a new W10 laptop and my W7 Home premium desktop. I have done all the sharing/permissions and everything shared is shown with the additional icons on both machines. When I try to access files on W10 form W7 (and visa versa) I am told I do not have
    permission.

    I had no trouble when I had 2 W7 computers.

    HELP
