Sharing folders between two computers on your network is always more problematic than it is worth. At least there is no guarantee that the process goes smoothly. If you have trouble setting up your operations and transferring files, you can also copy them to an external hard drive (or a flash drive).
If what you are transferring is too large to fit on a flash drive and you do not have an external hard drive, it is time to bite the bullet and see the network shares. Lifehacker reader Roger arrives promptly with the Tech 911 question this week:
MS has discontinued support for "Homegroup". I have stopped supporting Ethernet. Two machines; Win64 and Win32. Wireless ISP through an access point. Both machines are recognized by the access point. Win64 cannot see the shares in Win32. Win32 sees all actions in Win64. Both computers use USB wireless network adapters
What do I need for Win64 to see Win32? "
I admit that I have never used a WiFi hotspot at home. My first inclination would have been to review the configuration and make sure that nothing interferes with your system's ability to see itself. However, if one (x86) can see all other shares (x64), it looks more like a Windows configuration problem than a problem with your network.
He didn't mention the version of Windows he is using, so I guess it's Windows 10. (After all, Windows 10 has no groups at home, so it sounds fair).
To begin troubleshooting, I will first examine the sharing settings on your 32-bit Windows (x86) system. Open Control Panel, change the "Category" view to large or small icons and click on "Network and Sharing Center". Then click on "Change advanced sharing settings" in the left sidebar.
Click on the "All networks" menu and consider enabling public folders. As the name implies, anyone in your network can see them. It is a security issue if you leave other people on your network, as they can also see everything in these folders. However, that shouldn't be a problem if it's just you (or if you're just setting up a temporary file transfer system).
Also note the "Password protected version" option. I suppose that if you try to access from your 64-bit system, you will be logged in with your 32-bit system username and password. If you are trying to log in as a separate and specific user, you must first disable this option.
Save the changes you have made, return to the control panel and activate the properties of your system. Both computers should use the same workgroup, which is probably called "WORKING GROUP". Otherwise, click Advanced System Settings, then click on the Computer Name tab and correct it.
Then go to File Explorer on your x86 system. Go to the folder you want to share, right click on it and choose Properties. There, click on the Share tab.
Then click on the Share button. The screen shows a list of people (users) who can access the share. One must be the current user with which you are logged in and the other must say "SYSTEM".
Again, you must log in to your x86 system as a user when prompted. Otherwise, you cannot access the shared folders.
If you want to open your sharing a bit, click on the drop-down menu and select "ALL", click "Add" and grant "ALL" read / write access to the folder. I think this generally solves most of the problems I have when sharing folders in Windows, although it does mean that anyone in your network can access this folder without having to log in as someone. .
Now turn on your 64-bit PC and start the file browser. Click Network below and see if anything appears. Otherwise, you may only have to manually enter this previous address in the address bar, which (hopefully) should show your network share.
If you still don't see anything and are tired of troubleshooting, you have some other options. You can use a service like Sharedrop.io to get your files from one place or another
At the end. Hope above is useful for you. By the way, if you are looking for Microsoft Windows 10 Professional OEM key. You can have a look at bzfuture.com. they have a promotion now and can save lots of money with good quality product key.
