    Window 10 could not access Other Window 10 shared drives, - Solved


    My Windows 10 Home upgraded from Windows 8.1 could not see other Windows 10 Machines on my home network from Windows Explorer. It could see Windows 7 machines but not Windows 10. I tried various suggestion from this forum and others with no success.

    While researching a problem with "Browser" service (running but with error message - Failed to read description ), a solution was to turn on a Windows feature "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support". After reboot, Suprise!! My computer now sees all other computers on the network, "Browser" service is deleted, and "Computer Browser" service was created.

    My surmize is that "SMB" was an option in Windows 8 but not required and not loaded. Therefore when Microsoft upgraded my machine to Windows 10 they did not load "SMB" program.

    "SMB" did not exist on Windows 7.

    Hope this helps somebody

    :)

  2. Restore a Vista backup to Windows 10

    The links provided don't seem to address the question. The first link is a sign-up for an Insider Program users forum. The second does not have anything about restoring a backup from Vista to Windows 10.

    Network Permissions on Windows 10

    I bought a new Windows 10 computer. I could access all my other computers from the new one but, I could

    not access the new computer C:\ drive from any of my other computers. Here is how I solved the problem with the new computer. After sharing the C:\ drive, click "Permissions" and check all the "Alllow" boxes. Then, click the "Security" tab. "Everyone" was
    not on the "Group or Users Names" list. So, I clicked "Edit" and typed Everyone in "Enter object names to select" box and clicked, Ok. It worked. Now all my computers can access the new one. I hope this will help you.

    Can't thank you enough.
