Windows 10: Sharing files from a computer that runs window 7 to a computer that runs windows 10

I have company files on window 7 and I would like to be able to access them on my windows 10 computer. I want to be able to attach the files when emailing customers. Windows 10 does not allow for a homegroup to be set up or join. I will only be using the windows 7 computer for company files and nothing else. Please Help. I

Sharing a local printer to computers running both windows 7 and windows 10

Hi Tom,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Have you connected all the three device (Windows 7, Windows 10 and printer) in home group network?

If you have connected all the three device in home group network then I
suggest you to run home group troubleshooter as below and check if it helps.

• Type troubleshooting in the search area on the taskbar and select
  Troubleshooting.
• Select View all on the top left corner.
• Click Home Group.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.

Also I suggest you to disconnect the Windows 10 computer and connect the Windows 7 computer directly to Windows 7 computer and check if the issue persists or not.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

How can I share a folder with a computer on my local network that is running Windows 7?

I just got a new computer running Windows 10 and I would like to share a folder with another computer on my local network that is running Windows 7? How do I set that up? The computer I want to share the folder with is listed under other devices, and under
Network in File Explorer on my computer.

 

Windows 7 File Sharing between computers, PROBLEMS!!

I'm at an absolute loss here. I cannot seem to get very good file transfer speeds no matter what I do. I could really use some help. I'll supply info on what i'm trying to do and what i have hardware wise, but i can't get a music file to open in under a minute! Videos are over 5, and still jump, they don't flow...Any help would be nice.

I'm running 3 computers on a network

1st, the computer hardware:

1. HTPC with Asrock a75m & a8-3850 using onboard wired ethernet connection & crossfire with asus 6670 video card. 8gb ram, always on, running windows 7 professional, and a 64gb crucial ssd.

2. Main rig:
gigabyte ga-890fxa-ud5 motherboard
1090T @4.3 with H100 cooler
16gb ram (1366mhz)
75gb WD Raptor
Killer NIC 2100 wired networking card (other 2 onboard cards disabled in bios)
running windows 7 ultimate & SLI (with hack) 250GTS MSI cards.

3. Laptop:
Dell studio laptop 1747

Networking hardware:

DGL-4500 router.
Motorola SB-6120 cable modem
Cat 6 cables going from modem to router, router to main rig, and router to 10/100/1000 switch that splits into HTPC and Xbox 360 with cat 6 cables as well.
Laptop uses Wireless G. Router broadcasts mix of A/B/G no N.

I've tried using Homegroup and i'm able to setup and share files. I've used just the "sharing" feature of files/folders and i can share files. But i don't get ANY good speeds out of it.

My end goal. I want to make my HTPC the center of my household, with 9TB of storage when i'm done, and i want to be able to access files (.iso's/mpg's/jpeg's/mp3's/etc) from that computer on a TV directly, and wired through my network on my main rig so i don't have to worry about space problems on my main rig with all those hard drives. i also want to be able to access them from my laptop.

right now the access times are HUGE! i'm not sure how to measure the transfer speeds, but a 500mb file took 7 minutes to open into windows media player classic, and then skipped every 2 seconds to buffer.

Is my end goal achievable? This is my first time trying to network my goodies, so i'm not positive if i can do it or not, but i think i can, and would accept any help what so ever to get it done. Hardware of Software recommendations are accepted as well if you think i need upgrades.

Please Help!
