Hi,
My wife purchased a recon PC with Windows 10 installed, it networked with my windows 7 PC okay. I've finaly gotten round to upgrading my PC to windows 10 and I cannot see her PC. How do I go about getting the two PCs to be on the network?
thanks,
Gerald

Thanks for the reply,
she can see my PC but I cannot see hers. Network Discovery is set to on. I have not yet restarted the PCs yet, will I have to restart them both for the networks to see each other? I have a few things to do yet before I restart my PC.

Make sure file sharing is on as well. I believe that is required to see other Windows devices

File and printer sharing is on for private, guest and public networks. I'm 73 and this is a bit above me at the moment, it was all running okay before I upgraded
