2 PCs old (W10) and a new PC (W11) both same BT/EE Wifi Access point router and both have working connections from this to Internet, so each PC connectivity is working.
I wish to copy across my stored files to the new PC. .... i.e access to drag & drop files
I enabled file sharing on W10 PC
Went to file explorer ..
Selected my E:\
Right click > give access to > advanced sharing
share this folder’ is ticked
Selected the E:\ and in permission selected everyone
Saved
(pic of shared folder )
I went to W11 Pc (new)
Tried to add W10 PC using
This PC > right click "Add a network location"
Choose a custom network location>
"Network address > \\Rick-pc\e:\
I get error "The folder your entered is not a valid location"
same error if I use \\Rick-pc\e
What do I need to set on W11 PC to be able to get to files on W10 PC ?
