I'm trying to share a Windows 7 folder with a Windows 10 computer. I do NOT want to have identical user accounts on each machine. The objective is to share the folder, which I have done many times. Here are as many details as may be relevant: Password file sharing is turned off on both...

BBJ, you definitely make some sound recommendations, and thankfully I pretty much follow the path you laid out. I've been doing this a LONG time, too. Anyway, the problem is solved. I don't know whether to be happy or embarrassed. Even though I tried to install the optional updates three times...

I just updated an HP Elitebook 6930p laptop to Windows 7 Professional. Everything installed and is working fine. However, Windows Update reports that there are optional updates for the following two devices: Analog Devices - Audio - SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio RICOH Company, Ltd. -...
