Homegroup sharing Win.7, to Win. 10
Hello all,
I am trying to share my files, mainly documents and pictures between my (3) laptops. On my 2 laptops running
Windows 7 this is not a problem, but I am unable to share between Win. 7 and Win. 10. I can startup the homegroup, it will
recognize the other device on the network (private connection via ethernet cable) and I can move files from the Windows 10
computer to the Windows 7 machine, but not vice versa. If I try to drag and drop into the folder for the other machine, it tells
me I need permission.
I have checked and rechecked the appropriate fields needed for sharing, but it won't work to send from Win 7 to 10.
I uninstalled my Norton Security on the chance that it was preventing me, but no go.
My Windows 10 is Pro. version, Windows 7 is Ultimate.
I only use the Windows 10 as a backup computer and I can transfer files from Windows 7 by dragging them to a thumb drive and inserting that in the Win. 10 machine. But there must be a better way?
Just another reason why I don't like Win. 10. Has any one else experienced this?
Thank you for looking.
