Mervil what version of Win10 are you installing? I did a clean install (no upgrade) of the Win10 ISO download to USB stick a couple of months ago. The Laptop came with Win10 but never ran well till I did the clean install. Now it runs great for 2 months. But now I'm ready to move all my email and data files to it and I could not get even what you have for "everone".
For the Past decade I've never had any problem networking a windows machine since XP. But something in this new Win10 update has changed networking. I realize that Homegroup is gone but I can't get Windows 10 to see any network at all other than the printer and media player. I've checked and double checked and I have all the normal services running and did all the facets of network advanced sharing EVERYTHING to EVERYONE with full permissions and also matching workgroup names with matching user accts on both nodes. I had ALL network discovery on and [File & Print sharing for MS Networks] checked on the ethernet adapter, along with setting Netbios over TCP/IP in IPv4's properties.
I've tried it thru the router with dhcp addressing and I've tried it just hooking 2 Laptops together with static IPs of 192.168.1.X on one and 192.168.1.Y the other. With masks of 255.255.255.0 nothing shows, not even any \\UncShareName\ShareItems connect or even ask for a password.
I also tried with the Win10 node Checking the [turn OFF password protected sharing]
that didn't work either.
I can ping each, and see them in net view and see the both with ipconfig /all but not in windows file manager.
Currently I've purchased a USB (2.0) link cable with software that does transfers at 62Mbps or 8MBps. Not blazing but at least I can copy my data folders off my old Laptop to the new.
I'm also looking into LanShare and NitroShare when I have time which are Open Source Ethernet Pc to Pc transfer (not a cloud or remote transfer).
