Win 10 Networking Issue?

(1/2) > >>

riverbee:
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  ???
