mr. rb recently purchased a new laptop with win 10. i am the pc geek in the household and have been getting it set up and files migrated over.
my laptop is win 7, and his old one is vista. i also wanted to set up file/folder/printer sharing. this is normally very easy.
for some reason, the win 10 laptop does not 'see' all devices/computers on our home network, but both the vista laptop and win 7 laptop 'see' the win 10?
each laptop has the appropriate settings for networking, file/folder and printer sharing...........all on.
i went to migrate his files and wanted to do so across the network, no can do, and what a PITA, to move everything by flash drive. i have fooled with this off and on now for 3 days, and cannot figure this one out? i googled this, and it seems this is a common problem with win 10.
anyone here with win 10 experience this issue? if so, what did you do, or what can you suggest to resolve it?
thanks in advance!

I got a couple good friends in the shrine that are IT guys in big Corporations. The number one question the get asked about computers outside of work is. How do I get windows 10 off my computer and re install 7. I just ordered a new lap top for program in the shop. The first thing I had done was have windows 7 professional installed. What I have heard of 10 it ranks right up there with Vista. I have a Laptop with windows 8 and cant stand it. I use it has a stereo to stream music in the shop :D

As sad as it is to say, I am the current computer geek in the family... Win 10 was installed on the laptop, and promptly uninstalled... the hard drive wiped and win 8.1 re installed.. I DO NOT LIKE win 8.1.. I have a HORRIBLE time trying to find the files I need, but have managed so far... Win 10 disrupted SO MANY of the programs and files I use on a daily basis that it was ABSOLUTELY TRASHED within the first fifteen minutes of attempting to use it... I will switch to Win 10 again when they have some of the issues/bugs dealt with. Until then I am VERY happy with 8.1... I even looked up instructions on how to block Win 10 updates and notifications and applied them... Of course, if it was up to me, I would keep XP or even win 95.. at least with those systems I can find what I need.

Agreed Scott... I miss XP as well. Will be buy myself a new lap very soon and it will has win 10 whether I Like it or not.
Hubby is the comp geek in our house. He'll have his work cut out for him training me ???

After 30 years plus, starting with dos, I finally decided to try a Mac. I will NEVER go back to the PC. My original operating system became outdated recently, so I just downloaded the latest version, ""FREE"". After finding the few differences in steps to get around in it, everything is working great.
-
I agree with Idee. If I ever have to buy a new lap top I am going to spend the extra on a Mac. and not have to keep spending money to protect a ms pice of crap.

my lap is on it's last leg, have been considering a Mac. Hearing soo many complaints about Win 10.
But I'm also considering a Chrome which doesn't have to deal with windows at all...
