Windows 10: Windows 10 small office network help

Hi
I have a small office with 3 pc's in and need to network them all together so we can share files etc over the network, on Windows 7, it worked fine but now on Windows 10 it don't seem to work, the pc's are on private network and all connected via ethernet cables going from the each PC into one network hub with ethernet ports
it keeps saying enter your network credentials but not sure what they are and did not have to enter them in when we was all on Windows 7

I found out that my PC is Windows 10 Home and the PC that is being used as the server called OFFICESERVER-PC is running Windows 10 Pro, would that make a difference?
Can anyone help please
Thank you in advance
Kind regards
Ian

how do i change network from public to private

Hi Simon,

A private network location type can be for home or small office networks, or when you know and trust the people and devices on the network. This setting allows your PC to connect to a homegroup and devices on the network, such as printers. Here's how you
can make a Wi-Fi network public or private in Windows 10.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Can't print; won't print

I have recently installed new hardware which regrettably came with Windows 10. I have Office installed on my kit, but the rest of our small network does not. My colleagues can all print using free versions of comparable word/spreadsheet packages, but I've
paid for the real MS Office and can't print a thing. I've got 2 networked printers and I've downloaded the appropriate drivers. But nothing works.

My preferred solution is to go back to my old computer which has windows XP and Office 97 installed and worked like a dream.

Can someone help please?

 

Try This:
I will say this for Windows networking. It is terrible! - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums

 

I don't need the [several] computers on my Network having the ability to talk to each other but do need access to files so I use a couple of NAS/Network Attached Storage drives connected to my Router via Ethernet cables then all computers, wired or wireless, can access the mapped Public Folder on each. The computers are a mix of Win7, Win8.1, Win10, Mac OS X and Linux.

I also have an Inkjet printer and Laserjet printer attached by Ethernet cables and all computers, wired or wireless, that I install the software on can print to either. Only issue I have with that is scanning, sometimes problematic but not a deal breaker.
