Finally, someone who walks through the steps slowly and without extraneous side conversations. It was obvious you thought this through and trialed it before making the video. Thank you for that. I couldn't get mine to work before because I didn't realize you needed to set some of the same settings on both machines. It was very frustrating. You outlined my mistake. Thank you again.

10:39 - Thank you so much, you are the first person to explain that I needed to add "Everyone" as a user! This fixed the issue that I have been working on for hours!

I can’t thank you enough! I’ve been trying to share a drive between windows 10 & 11, I’ve followed so many tutorials and nothing worked until I followed yours. It worked immediately! I’ll definitely be back here for anything else in future.

Thank goodness for your video. There are so many poorly written/spoken pages/videos on this, many with incomplete information, but your explanation was clear, efficient, and finally got my home sharing going.

I bought a desktop and wanted to transfer all my music from my laptop to it. This worked. Thank you very much good sir!

THANK YOU! I really appreciate you breaking everything down and doing a simple to follow step by step tutorial. I was easily able to share drives from my Plex server to my hard wired laptop to transfer files quickly, rather than having to transfer files into a USB drive and walk up to the server and manually transfer them. Thank you again, great work!

Thanks for showing both the server and client sides of this process. Very helpful.

I have watched about 5 videos read about 800 things, and nothing worked, did yours and boom works perfect and even when the folders open if i add something on the main pc it then pops up on the laptop, I do a lot of 3d printing and use the laptop to run the printer, and the pc to model etc so youve saved me a lot of messing about with usb sticks lol . Thank you again !!!

bro thank you so much this actually worked when none others didn't

Thank you soooo much.... I was getting nowhere with the other KZfaqrs. They missed the "Turn Windows Features On/Off" step within the Apps and Features setup. I STILL got the password prompt, despite unchecking it settings (BOTH LAptops), but this time I simply typed in the PIN instead of the password and got through. Thanks again, I'm saving this video as Im sure will forget the steps in no time

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This worked after many videos. Step by step easy to follow. I appreciate your time in this tutorial.

Thanks dude I appreciate this a lot! I've watch many tutorial vids some of them made sense but not complete guide

Could not have done this without you, many thanks.

THNX. This was a clear nice step by step tutorial!

Thank you for an wonderfuly clear and precise tutorial. I had looked at other support information but your information was the only one that worked. You took it step by step, explaining the process. I'm very grateful for you sharing your expertise.

Amazing video mate - great stuff. Thanks for keeping it clean and simple!

Thanks! I find your Methods worked for My system. Thanks!

Excellent step by step tutorial. Many thanks.

Excellent video. I've been trying for the last 2 days to set up to no avail. I've now set up my network and it works the way I want it to work. Thanks so much.

Worked for me. Remember to add Everyone to both Sharing and Security tabs.

In my case, one PC is connected to the network via Ethernet cable, the other one via Wi-Fi. And it worked like a charm, thank you! ❤❤❤

A huge THANK YOU for sharing this information. You are one of the best. ☺☺☺☺☺

Thanks man, this is great done tutorial and it was very helpful for me.

I agree with the many other comments!! I've been trying for months to setup a windows network. Google, CoPilot AI, KZfaq videos never resulted in success just frustration. This video was easy to follow and resulted in SUCCESS!! Adding Everyone to Sharing and Security with the correct permissions was the key for me. No other resources covered this. Thank you! Will gladly subscribe and make a PayPal donation! Worth paying money for.

Thanks so much! I hadn't changed security settings!

your video helped me greatly after i have tried all sort of different things, thank you kind sir

Great video! Thank you.

Yes! Success! I had such an issue with a Win10 tower and a Win11 laptop. Many thanks!\

It was really helpful. Thanks a lot for the video.

Thank you so very much! Great video and information.👍

Awesome tutorial ! Thank you so much !

bro u saved me ty soo mush the only one who didnt clickbait me

Thanks for making this video. Great job, really appreciate it.

Thank you so much i just tried it and it worked❤

Thank you for consistently providing us with informative videos. I appreciate your effort and dedication to creating interesting and educational content.

Perfect walkthrough

thank you so much it is useful to my part

The video is so useful, Thank you very much.

Thank you so much

Really good video and I did it step by step but in the end i still needed the password even though i had it properly checked but no biggie, it works!

Thank You So much

Got mine and my husbands linked through lan. Thanks for the step by step in easy to understand terms.

Much appreciated my man.

Low quality microphone and a tired voice, 2 out of 3 signs of a good tech tutorial.

Thanks a lot 😊

Thank you for this amazing video. It's crazy how hard something as basic and important as this is to pull off....sigh.

thanks so much this helped a million

Thanks very helpful

Thanks, had got out of habit of networking as mostly used flash drives to move files but wanted to copy over GTA V mod install to my laptop!

Thanks for the video...can mobile phones connected to the same network able to access these shared folders/files on a PC

finally working. thanks!!!!

Thanku so much

i have 1 computer on ethernet - 1 wifi did everything for both connections - only see the user folder- wanted to share a whole drive anyway... any thoughts. I was able to see my mapped drive on main computer but the drive appeared empty...

thank you!

THANK YOU

thank you so much! vey well explained! lol System B was here XD

Does is matter how we login on the server and client? Do we need to log in with a Microsoft account or can we use a local login?

thankyou

Worked 🎉

Hey Zeus, we are sposed to figure this out on our own?? I hope that you did one on printers also. Thank you lots!

thank you

ahhh public / private was the problemo cheers bro

Can you map an entire drive, like say D drive and not a folder within the drive? What is the difference between map network drive and add network location?

I wonder it can work in different windows platform like win 10 or windows 7

Thanks! I've been struggling with this for days now and I don't understand why, but the issue was not having everyone in the list. You would think having my login user in the sharing & security list was enough - at least logically it is since I'm the only one that logs into either PC - but windows logic is stupid.

They sure made sharing easy in windows 11. Ive used windows since 3.11, but i could not even figure this one out. Then, why do they have settings? Why have a system over controlpanel? It makes no sense. Im spending twice as much time, trying to find things in windows now days. Is it in settings? or is it in controlpanel?

I finally got this working, thank you, but had to make a concession to do so. I would prefer to run both of my PCs without login passwords so they can be accessed by anyone in my home (including me) without typing a password each time the computer is started up. When I tried initially I was unable to make the computers connect. Only after adding a local password to each PC was I able to transfer files over the network. Is it possible to set up network sharing without forcing a local password on the PCs?

Will this work from Wi-Fi to Ethernet under the same network?

1. I heard your cat - just to say hi! 2. Never did I know we need so many settings to just share a folder - thanks for pointing out! 3. I think Microsoft should work on this, either simplify it, or get us a wizard, or at least make troubleshooting helpful. This is wayyy too complicated, even you got an error just now, and it's just for LAN sharing. And there's still OneDrive & VPN sharing as you mentioned, how on earth we as normal users are going to run it properly - it's just not user friendly enough.

Why do you enable SMB 1.0 ? It's old and it has a lot of known exploits.

Does it work if you have your sharing computer on Ethernet and your lap-top connected to Wi-Fi ? or both have to be either on Ethernet or Wi-Fi ?

This is an excellent video. However, it did NOT solve my problem. Finally, I rebooted the ROUTER and it solve the problem. Simple, trivial, easy solution to days of problems. Try this early on.

Great video, thanks, might be worth mentioning though, that you should only activate SMB 1 if you really need it, as there are considerable security risks associated with it; The reason for its deactivation in windows 10 and 11, so, if you don't WannaCry, don't activate!

I'm only able to add a single drive to share on the network. Doing the same with the rest of my drives shows up on the other PC but says it doesn't have permission to access them. The settings are the same on the other drives.

When I try to access the main computer on my second computer by typing //A desktop_name it asks me for internet credentials (user_name and password). I don't know what to type in these fields, can you help me?

Thanks a lot, I've tried several times, but I can see the shared folder yet it's not letting me in. It shows a new window for Windows security and asks me to enter network credentials, which I don't know. I've already unchecked the option for a password. Please help.

sorry but is this windows feature a bit buggy? it is sometimes doesn't show on networks even if everything is set correctly

I did everything accordingly but while accessing the other device it’s asking for username and password of a user of that pc. is there any way to access it without that?

does if works for wifi to

i dont have smp v1.0 on my windows 11 pro for some reason help

It appears that this method shares the folder with everyone and all computers on my network. What if i only want to share the folder with one of the computer on my network?

Please, I am trying to make my laptop create a network without wires and without a router, and I was previously able to do this with a laptop.

Can i map a full partition?

why i need to get phd to configure windows share

And how do I access them remotely i.e from Android?

Hello, Thank you for the video, I am trying to share a drive over another computer and the drive is located but unfortunately, when I try to open the drive it shows:" Network Error.... windows cannot access you do not have permission to access the (my ip number). Contact your network administrator to request access." What can I do? Thank you once again!

FYI The display language of my Windows 11 is set in English but it could not find Everyone (to add to the security tab for the folder sharing). Then I typed " Iedereen" (the Dutch word for everyone) and it did find it... (yes I am Dutch :) ).

But when i restart sustem B the connection losts

It's simply a nightmare to share folder across home network. Just can't understand why MS has to make it so so complicated.

❤❤❤

Advanced sharing tab is not on ANY folder

Its too buggy, it asks me for credential, although I have turned off the password tick. Please teach how to add the pc in credential manager I cant figure it out and it won't work and lock me for every 3 tries I do

In win 10 Pro. 22H2, it don't look like that.!

how to set user id and pass

Was struggling 'cause my pc had outlook account - switched to local account

I am still getting network credential request. I have turned that feature off in all four of my PCs.

I’m still getting a network error

It doesn't work when using the same Microsoft Account and user on both computers. I guess you are using local accounts

I thought Microsoft said SMB 1 was no longer safe.
