Since the demise of homegroups, I have never been reliably successful in networking Windows.
My current problem is what I typically run into. I just updated a occasionally used Win7 notebook to Win 10. When attempting to start a connection from my Win 10 tower case, the Notebook does not show as a computer under Networks. Whereas my tower shows in the notebook and can read the shares. The notebook does show as a media device. So they are communicating.
I have shared the laptop public folder with full access for everyone and rebooted. Yet it fails to register on the desktop.
Does anyone have a reliable guide to networking windows? Answers in Google searches have outdated or useless information that I have given up on them.
