1411685 2015-11-21 04:24:00 Ok I have a Win 7 machine as Host and a Win 10 machine as Guest as it were working over HomeGroup.

Now whilst the network is working and I can share Printers and Libraries I can’t see a Folder on the Desktop of the Host (Win 7) machine.

Sure, I could put it into My Documents and deal with it there but I thought I should be able to share the desktop as well as Pictures, Music, Documents etc.

Any thoughts anyone?

:thanks

Have a read of the first part: www.dummies.com

If its not letting you in, you may find if your W10 has a email address as a sign in and W7 doesn't- this could be the cause. Took bloody ages to figure out why W10 insider previews were not allowed access to the other shared folders on other W10 PC's here :waughh:

However, the Win 10 machine wouldn't hook onto the internet next restart but the built in trouble shooter seems to have fixed that. Fingers crossed. :)
