Share button is gray in Windows 10

Hi,

I do appreciate your efforts and time, and will assist you with the issue.

• 
  Are you trying to share from an Admin account? Because the share option might be greyed out due to administrative privileges.
  

Method 1

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• 
  Type This PC in the search bar and hit enter.
  
• 
  Right click on a drive you want to share.
  
• 
  Select share with.
  
• 
  Select Advanced sharing.
  
• 
  Check the box share this folder and click on permissions.
  
• 
  Set permissions according to you and click on
  apply and ok.
  

If the issue still prissiest, try Method 2,

Method 2

• 
  Open an elevated command prompt. (Right click on start button and select command prompt admin)
  
• 
  Type takeown /U %username% /F %USERPROFILE% /R /SKIPSL (You may also need the /P <password>
  
• 
  Once that completes type cacls %USERPROFILE% /T /E /G %USERNAME%:F
  

This should force you to be the owner of everything in your profile and grant you full access.

Win 7 and Win 10 on network

I have home network with separate modem, router, and WAP's. My Windows 7 computer does NOT list the Windows 10 computers on network computer list but the Windows 10 computers network list DO list the Windows 7 computer.

Turned off firewalls, gave permissions, shared drives. Nothing allows Win 7 computer to access the Win 10 computers.

Any suggestions for a fix?
