I have a Lenovo 730S AIO computer and an Acer A515 laptop both running up to date versions of Windows 10.

I have spent a l;ot of time trying to setup Windows Workgroup and file/folder settings on both computer so that they can share files/folders.

I am now very confident that I can now have the necessary information to map the shared folders on other computer.

In File Explorer I selected Map Network Drive and then I I enter the network path for the shared file/folder and the continue I am asked for credentials; a username and password.

Where do I find these credentials? I tried my Microsoft credentials but these do not work

It will have to be local credentials on the computer you're mapping to
